Liberty County enters Stage 1 fire restrictions

GREAT FALLS – Liberty County has entered Stage 1 fire restrictions, and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has followed the county’s lead in placing fire restrictions on its property within the county. FWP managed property in Liberty County includes the Marias Crossing Fishing Access Site southeast of Shelby.

Under Stage 1 restrictions, building, maintaining, attending or using a fire or campfire at FWP sites is not allowed. Smoking is prohibited except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is cleared of flammable materials. Recreationists may cook on a liquid petroleum gas or propane stove that can be turned on and off.

These restrictions at FWP sites will be in place until further notice. Due to dry conditions and high fire danger FWP urges people to use caution while they are out recreating.
