Fire is part of Montana.
That means we, as Montanans, must learn how to live with fire. You can prepare yourself, your home, and your community for wildfire by visiting MTFireInfo.org
Prepare your property
Taking action to retrofit or harden your home against wildfire and treating your property to reduce flammable materials can greatly reduce your home's wildfire risk.
