lightning

This is one of the best parts about living in Montana during the spring.

It's not the worst we've ever seen, but a few more unlucky lightning strikes and Montana's wildfire season could explode. We're currently battling 77 active wildfires and they are for the most part in remote, hard to fight areas, with plenty of timber and fuel to burn.

Regardless of how prepared you are, this will always ruin a good day in Montana.

This new fire was reported on Saturday, July 16th, 2022 and has been named the Moors Mountain Fire.

Some Montana residents are cleaning up after a series of weekend thunderstorms that brought large hail, heavy rain and strong winds that downed trees and power lines and damaged buildings and vehicles.
