HAMILTON â The Bitterroot National Forest says smoke will likely be visible on Friday from a prescribed burn in the Bitterroot Mountains, southwest of Darby between Little Tin Cup and McCoy creeks.
Firefighters plan to hand burn 90 acres of the Trapper Bunkhouse Unit #11.
The prescribed burn will reduce residual slash from a recent thinning and timber harvest operation.
Smoke will be visible along the West Fork Road and Highway 93 south of Darby to Connor, according to a news release.
People are asked to be aware of fire crews and vehicles along the Leavens and Hart Bench roads.
