⚠️ Anticipated prescribed burn taking place tomorrow near York (northeast of Helena) ⚠️
It is looking like we will have another good prescribed burn window tomorrow (Thursday, April 28) to burn 100-300 acres in the York/Nelson area (Bull Sweats Unit 5). If this prescribed burn moves forward, folks in York will see/smell smoke and folks in the Helena Valley will see smoke northeast of town in the Big Belt Mountains. We will post tomorrow once we verify if conditions are appropriate for the burn.
This work supports forest health by recycling nutrients into the soil, supporting mature trees in continuing to grow strong and providing abundant understory forage for wildlife. Additionally, this work will remove excess ground fuels around the communities of York and Nelson.

Warming up for Parade of Lights
Parade of Lights about to get underway in Downtown Helena. #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas
Have you ever seen a ghost? If not ... well, now you have! This from the Old Montana State Prison a few weeks ago ... I'm standing in the doorway of a cell on the third tier. This is during a group experiment ... the thinking: If everyone sings together, it just might amp up energy in the space. And if that happens, maybe something paranormal happens. My feet are partway into the walkway, which is just wide enough to walk down - and with a waist-high railing, generally you hug the cell side. You can't walk up here in the dark without a flashlight. Being on the third level, there are lights peeking through the upper windows … a few glimmers of freedom on the other side of the prison wall. And it is these lights that serve as the backdrop for an incredible video catch. Watch the lights.
We're back after a bit of a spring hiatus, and there's some big meetings coming up, including the school board and city commission.
Masks are coming off in Lewis and Clark County, and Taco Bell is coming in!
If you're looking to help out a non-profit in our community, today's the day!
Check in for a follow-up on yesterday's house fire and find out what's coming back after a year's hiatus!
There's a fire near downtown Helena, but HFD reports no injuries and says it is contained to a single structure.
Fire on State St
The City of Helena Fire Department has responded to a fire on the 200 block of State Street. Please avoid the area. Updates will be provided as soon as they are available.
There's been a change to this year's Vigilante Day Parade, and there's a celebration planned for tomorrow morning as well!
The planned burn in the Helena area is now not happening, but there is an event coming up on Friday at the Helena Civic Center.
COVID numbers are down over the last two days ... but that comes with a caveat. And if you're looking to get into a vaccination clinic, you've got a great chance in the coming days!
The mask mandate remains in place for Lewis and Clark County, and getting rid of it is a bit tougher than a decision from the health department.
There's been a potential mountain lion sighting near Spring Meadow, and the Vigilante Day Parade is back on ... sort of.
Lots of Legislative news today ... and a return of the Vigilante Day parade!
There was a short lock-down at Capital High yesterday, though police found nothing of concern in the area. Also, there are some slash pile burns happening today in the York area - so the smoke is supposed to be there.
COVID numbers are surging a bit, particularly in Gallatin County. The good news is that there are vaccines available to those that want them!
COVID numbers are up today, but it appears that vaccine numbers are starting to plateau in Lewis and Clark County.
There was a big event at Fort Harrison yesterday, and another big event for a pair of Montana High School students. And big news for high school juniors and seniors: There is going to be a free prom!
