(Helena) Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest announced they’ll be adding new fire restrictions to the park in the wake of the ongoing Horse Gulch Fire.
These new restrictions are effectively immediately, and are Stage 1 restrictions. This means that Stove fires, campfires and charcoal fires are allowed ONLY at developed campgrounds and developed recreation sites where Forest Service metal fire rings are provided.
In addition, smoking is only permitted inside an enclosed vehicle or building, and fires are banned within wilderness and wilderness study areas as designated by the Forest.
