Open Debris Burning 

Effective July 1, 2026

Based on the recommendation of Sheriff Leo Dutton, in his capacity as Fire Warden and in consultation with the Rural Fire Council, United States Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, open debris burning in Lewis & Clark County will close at 12:01 am on July 1, 2026. The reasoning behind this closure is to reduce the number of human-caused fires during the hottest period of the year. Should meteorological conditions change, this may be reevaluated.   

Please do your part:

  • Recreate responsibly
  • Put out your campfires
  • Make sure your chains aren't dragging
  • Don't use tools or equipment without spark arresters
  • Don't drive in dry grass
  • Don't throw your cigarettes out the window
  • If fireworks are allowed, light them responsibly
  • Don't shoot exploding targets in dry areas
  • Follow all rules put in place, they are there for a reason

Please be responsible.
