Widespread Red Flag Warnings are in effect today across Western Montana and North Central Idaho. Rapid fire spread is expected, and active wildfires, including the Skillet Fire in NW Montana, have already prompted evacuation orders. It is critical that all residents familiarize themselves with the "Ready, Set, Go" protocol immediately. Beyond having your go-kit packed (including supplies for your pets), there are immediate tactical steps you can take if fire is nearby: Park your vehicle facing the road for a rapid exit, and turn off all exterior sprinklers to ensure local fire crews have maximum water pressure. Monitor updates from your local county emergency management officials. If you feel unsafe, do not wait for an official order to leave.
