Skydive Missoula prepares for business launch on October 25

The Town Council meeting in Stevensville, Montana, on April 15, 2025, highlighted several key developments, including the upcoming launch of Skydive Missoula's operations and updates from the local fire department.

Skydive Missoula is set to begin its business in Stevensville on April 25, with initial sign-ups already underway. Council members expressed enthusiasm about the new venture, which is expected to attract visitors and boost local tourism.

In a report from the fire department, it was noted that March saw 57 requests for service, with a mix of town and medical calls. The department reported two missed calls due to a lack of available responders, emphasizing the challenges faced when local ambulance services are unavailable. The fire department highlighted that while Stevensville has a paramedic-staffed ambulance, it may not always be in the area, particularly during transfers to larger cities like Seattle. This situation can lead to delays in emergency response times, which the community needs to be aware of.

The fire department's proactive approach to handling medical calls was underscored, as they aim to provide support to citizens during critical situations. The meeting concluded with a positive note regarding community events, including a successful chili cook-off.

Overall, the discussions at the meeting reflect ongoing efforts to enhance local services and community engagement in Stevensville.
