Heat Wave



So Montana in general has fairly mild temperature in the summer. This last week we have been breaking records every day with how hot it is. We didn’t get enough snow or rain to do anything good so the fire warning is at extreme and there is a stage 1 ban on fireworks. Most of you probably already know this.

The Fourth of July is about so much more than blowing stuff up and lighting things on fire. If we took a break from it this year as we’ve been advised to do it isn’t going to hurt anyone. However if people ignore these warnings they could jump start the fire season and this could hurt tons of people.  The smoke often fills the valley and gets trapped in here for a while.

There is always next year, and if you bought fireworks this year already, on New Year’s you can light them off legally. So please adhere to the fire advisory rules because it may not be your house that gets burned down, but it could happen to someone else.
