Firefighters Contain 7-Acre Blaze On Adams Lane

Dillon, MT — Wednesday afternoon, the Dillon Volunteer Fire Department, with assistance from the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), responded to a fire on Adams Lane that started as a controlled burn but quickly got out of hand due to high winds.

According to officials, the fire spread rapidly before crews arrived on the scene. Thanks to a quick response and ample manpower, firefighters were able to contain the blaze to approximately seven acres, preventing it from threatening nearby properties.

Fire Chief B.J. Klose said the incident serves as a reminder that even with cooler fall temperatures, conditions remain dry and fire danger still exists. He urges residents to use extra caution when conducting any type of outdoor burning.
