Wildfire Status:

The Boulder Creek Fire, a lightning-caused wildfire detected on July 24, 2024, is currently active and spans approximately 25 acres. Located ten miles north of the Powell Ranger Station and 12 miles west of Lolo Hot Springs, the fire is within Game Unit 12. As of August 22, 2024, fire activity is classified as moderate, influenced by warmer and drier weather conditions in the region.

Fire agencies, particularly the Powell Ranger District Fire Management, are actively monitoring the situation. There are currently no fire-related closures reported, indicating that response efforts are focused on managing the fire's growth and ensuring public safety without significant disruptions to the surrounding area. Minimal smoke has been observed, which suggests that containment efforts may be effective at this time.

As the weather remains warm and dry, fire management strategies will likely continue to adapt to evolving conditions, emphasizing the importance of vigilance in wildfire monitoring and response. Additional resources may be deployed if fire activity escalates, but for now, the situation appears stable under the current management practices.
