Horse Gulch Fire
Publication Type: News - 07/13/2024 - 10:00

Special Statement

...Red Flag Warning for gusty winds and very low humidity today from 2 PM until Midnight...

Smoke

Forecast winds from late morning onward will push the majority of smoke east into the high wilderness areas of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. Good to Moderate AQ is expected west of Canyon Ferry Lake toward Helena. Lower AQ is likely mainly east of Canyon Ferry and into the higher wilderness eastward, immediately downstream of the fire. After dusk, smoke will settle into local drainages including S-284, Canyon Ferry Lake and perhaps Hwy 12 toward east Helena.

Roadway Visibility

Localized smoke conditions can bring reduced visibility along S-284 to the Canyon Ferry Lake south of the fire overnight and in the early morning.
