In the Spotlight
Fire season in Montana is here. With each hot dry day, the likelihood of wildfires grow. If you are outside working or recreating during the hot summer months, it is vital that you know the weather forecast and the potential risk for fires.

Red Flag Warnings are issued by the National Weather Service and are an important tool to understand. Using caution during red flag warnings can go a long way in protecting our community.

To learn more about Red Flag Warnings, and other ways you can be wildfire safe, please visit the Helena Fire Department's Fire Prevention, Investigation and Safety webpage.

Be Water Wise
As we navigate peak irrigation season,
taking some small steps to conserve water can have a big impact.
Irrigation
Water in the morning
to limit evaporation.
Mowing

Landscaping
Choose native grass and
plants that require less water.
