(Malta) – The Lewistown Fire Restriction Interagency Group has announced that in response to cooler temperatures and recent moisture, all fire restrictions have been lifted on private state and federal lands in Philips County as of 12:01am on Friday August 1st.

1. Never leave a campfire unattended.
2. Keep water, dirt, and a shovel near your fire
