Fire Information 

The public information staff uses several tools to communicate with communities such as Discover the Bitterroot Facebook page, the Bitterroot National Forest website, press releases, InciWeb, public meetings, and mobile information trailers to name a few. Getting accurate, timely fire information to the public is a high priority to keep our community up to date.  Our community plays an active part in shared, two-way conversations in understanding fire management operations that are geared toward keeping people safe and preserving our lands.
