- ➤ State, federal and local leaders met in Helena on Monday and warned that Montana may face a busier fire season as crews fought wildfires in western Montana and prepare for more fires in July when hot, dry weather could increase danger. The state upgraded helicopter operations and added about 30 frontline firefighters while urging people to follow fire rules—most fires start from human carelessness—to help protect communities.
