Wildfire threats escalate as storms complicate recovery efforts
During a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing efforts to manage debris and wildfire risks in the region. Collaborations with the community council and the Forest Service are underway to assess the needs for debris handling and site processing, although a definitive plan has yet to be established.

Adrienne provided an update on the wildfire situation, noting that while the season had slowed due to recent storms, the area remains vigilant. The storms brought significant rain but also lightning, prompting fire crews to respond to several incidents. Fortunately, Missoula County has managed to contain local fires, but neighboring areas, such as Helmville and Ravalli County, are facing challenges with active fires and evacuation warnings due to strong winds.

Looking ahead, officials announced the upcoming \"Last Best Waste Days\" event on September 8, where residents can dispose of household waste for a fee. This initiative aims to help the community clear out accumulated waste before transitioning to a year-round disposal facility. Officials emphasized the importance of this event for maintaining community sanitation and protecting local water sources.
