HELENA â With the Fourth of July holiday swiftly approaching many may be looking to seek refuge from the hustle and bustle and get outdoors, whether it be for a weekend or a few hours.
With the holiday approaching, the Helena-Lewis and Clark National forest service is asking people to be extremely cautious this summer due to the dry, hot conditions the state has seen over the last few weeks. We can all help firefighters this season with this hot and dry pattern of weather we re seeing. That includes things like having the right tools to put out your campfire, making sure your chains are secured if you re hauling a trailer, said HLCNF Public Affairs Officer Chiara Cipriano.
