Town of Whitehall Implements Stage 1 Fire Restrictions

The Town of Whitehall has implemented Stage 1 fire restrictions for private lands in the Town of Whitehall, effective at 12:01 AM on Friday, 8/14/26, due to high fire danger and limited availability of fire response resources. The resolution prohibits campfires on all private lands in the Town of Whitehall. The public should visit https://www.mtfireinfo.org to view areas with fire restrictions in Montana. The duration of the restrictions will depend on the long-term fire danger outlook and resource availability. While Jefferson County may receive areas of precipitation through the rest of this week, the forecasted amounts will not be sufficient to substantially impact wildfire danger.
