Recent and forecasted rain across the region have led Interagency fire managers to rescind Stage I fire restrictions for the majority of Northwest Montana. 

It will take effect at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, according to Kootenai National Forest officials. There are exceptions, though, and many include timber company lands. A complete list is found below.

Fire danger remains high to very high because of the potential for wildfire threat, especially following recent lightning events. The public is encouraged to remain vigilant and take precautions to prevent wildfires.
