Wildfire
Post Fire has burned 144 acres, burning 43 miles west of Hamilton.
Latest update
The Post Fire started on Tuesday, June 10 and weather and fuel conditions caused more rapid spread than is typical for this time of year. The fire is burning in rugged terrain with long evacuation times should an accident occur. This is a consideration when determining firefighting strategies and tactics.
The greatest potential impacts are to the Highway 12 corridor that runs between Lolo, Montana and Kooskia, Idaho. It also has the potential to impact various forest infrastructure, recreation sites, and natural and cultural resources.
Management of the fire transitioned from the Northern Rockies Complex Incident Management Team 5 (IC Joe Sampson) to a local Type 4 organization on Tuesday, June 24 at 6:00 p.m.
The fire is being managed under a full suppression strategy, implementing strategies of confinement, containment, and point protection. Currently there are no fire restrictions or road, trail, and area closures.
