Smoke Chokes Valley From Storm Creek Fire
As you drive north on US 93 through the valley, you notice a little less smoke, especially as you reach Lolo and Missoula. The reason is most of the smoke in the mid-valley is coming from the 9,500-acre Storm Creek Fire just over the border in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in Idaho. That fire is approaching the Bitterroot National Forest.
Public Affairs Officer Tod McKay said the forest is starting Thursday to post local fire maps and daily updates throughout Ravalli County as the fire season continues. Florence - Gary and Leo s Grocery and Florence Post Office; Stevensville - Super One Foods, Burnt Fork Market, Stevensville Ranger Station; Victor Post Office; Corvallis Post Office; Hamilton - Bitterroot Chamber of Commerce next to Safeway parking lot, Big Creek Coffee and Bitterroot National Forest Supervisor s office.

STEVENSVILLE â A campaign aimed at conserving the water, wildlife and working lands in Ravalli County enters the home stretch. However, organizers say it s a race against the new development pressures spurred by the pandemic.
There s a building boom in the Bitterroot this summer, at least partly a result of relocations spurred by the pandemic exodus from other states. We all see it and it s great for our local economy, Lauren Rennaker tells me as we survey lands already protected from atop the Stevensville Bench. But at the same time we want to make sure that we protect what makes this place so special, and that s our critical water resources, open lands for wildlife habitat and local agriculture.
