HAVRE, Mont. (NMB) – For the first time since early July, Hill County is no longer in Stage 1 Fire Restrictions.
The County Commission voted unanimously on Thursday to remove the restrictions. This change went into effect at midnight on the morning of November 5th.
Other counties in our area that have removed fire restrictions include Blaine, Chouteau, and Phillips.
Liberty County remains in Stage 1 Fire Restrictions.
