Wildfire season in Montana is just around the corner. Burn-ie the Bison reminds you to plan, prepare, and prevent this Wildfire Awareness Event. Stay safe by creating an emergency plan and kit, signing up for emergency notifications, and dousing fires properly.
Ernest Robertson was the only BFD firefighter to die while fighting a fire, and we're researching to create an exhibit about him. If you have info or a photo, please email at [email protected] or call at (406) 582-2369.
