Hunters: Be Careful!

(HELENA, Mont.)— People are asking about how the dry conditions and fire danger will affect hunting seasons. FWP is not recommending that the Fish and Wildlife Commission close hunting seasons. “Because of widely

variable conditions and different types of hunting scenarios across the state, that is a decision rightly left to an

individual landowner, a block management cooperator, or a land manager. If a private landowner or a land

management agency such as the Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management makes the decision to restrict or

postpone hunting or other activity on their property, that is a decision we respect and accept,” said FWP Director Martha Williams. Williams continued, “It is critical to be careful, and be safe. Hunters have to take personal responsibility to prevent wildfires and keep themselves and the property and lives of others safe. In conditions like these, hunters should only drive on pavement or gravel roads.” Due to fire danger, currently more than 80 block management are-as (BMAs) are restricted or closed at the request of landowners. FWP asks hunters to be safe by following these fire safety precautions: • Park your vehicle on bare ground or ground completely void of vegetation. • Drive only on paved and well graveled roads. • After you leave an area, wait for few minutes to make sure that a fire has not started where your vehicle was

parked.

• Bring along a fire extinguisher or water-filled weed sprayer, shovel or axe.

• Camp only in designated camping areas. • Smoke only inside buildings or vehicles. • Check on any fire restrictions in place in the area where you are hunting. • Consider limiting activity until fire danger lessens. MORE INFO: The most current list of closed BMAs can be found on the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov/hunting/hunterAccess/blockman/. Those who do not have access to the internet can check in with their FWP regional office. Closure signs are also posted onsite at BMAs. For FWP lands, hunters and recreationists should check updates on fire-related restrictions and closures at state parks, fishing access sites or other FWP properties online at fwp.mt.gov/news/restrictions. In Montana, fire restrictions are often coordinated with land management agencies and the counties. Typically, Mon-tana Fish, Wildlife and Parks follows the lead of the county where its land is located. However, fire restrictions can vary from county to county depending on local conditions. A good online resource is https://firerestrictions.us/. You can search for Montana and find the latest restrictions, by county. To go directly to the Montana page, click https://firerestrictions.us/mt/. Being knowledgeable about current restrictions and fire safe behavior will help us all prevent more wildfires. Below are resources for more information on fires and restrictions: Inciweb.nwcg.gov/state/27 is a multiagency website that serves as a clearing house for active fire information across the country. It’s easy to search for Montana and see most of the active fires burning in the state. Each fire has its own web page with current information, such as area closure maps, fire activity and any evacuation notices. Be aware that in many instances fire managers will close the area around the fire to ensure public and fire fighter safety. These local closures could include areas people might want to hunt or camp, so checking in here is a good step in making sure you have the latest information. Another great resource is the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation’s interactive wildland fire map:gis.dnrc.mt.gov/apps/firemap. This interactive mapping tool shows all of the fires burning in the state and gives the user an idea of recent fire activity. Users can select different layers to view various information and for those folks concerned about specific locations, the base layer provide a high-resolution map or aerials of Montana.

Archery hunter attacked by grizzly in Gravelly Mountains HELENA – An archery hunter survived a grizzly bear attack in the southern Gravelly Mountains Monday morning. The incident occurred when two archery hunters surprised a grizzly feeding on a carcass. The hunters yelled at the bear which immediately attacked. Both hunters had bear spray, one deployed it while the other did not. The bear went after the hunter who did not use his bear spray. The hunter with bear spray deployed his can on the bear as it mauled his partner. The bear then retreated. The at-tacked hunter sustained non-life-threatening injuries to his head, shoulder, arms and thigh. He was treated at the Madison Valley Medical Center in Ennis. Grizzly bears are common in the Gravelly Mountains, which are part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Archery hunters should take every possible precaution when hunting in bear country. Bear country means any-where in the western half of the state. All hunters should: • carry bear spray AND be ready to use it at a second’s notice; • hunt with a partner, leave detailed plans with someone and check-in periodically; • pay attention to fresh bear sign. Look for bear tracks, scat, and concentrations of natural foods; • use caution when hunting areas that have evidence of bear activity or areas with scavenging birds such as mag-

pies, ravens, or crows; • get harvested big game out of the woods quickly; • upon returning to a site where harvested game is left unattended, study the site at a distance for any movement

or changes and signal your approach by making plenty of noise; • never attempt to frighten or haze a bear from a carcass; • contact FWP if a bear has consumed a carcass or covered it with debris rendering it unsalvageable.

Most grizzly bears will typically leave an area if they sense human presence. Hunters who observe a grizzly bear or suspect a bear is nearby should leave the area. If you encounter a grizzly, stay calm, don't run, and assess the situation by trying to determine if the bear is actually aware of you. Is it, for instance, threatening or fleeing? Always keep the bear in sight as you back away, and leave the area. For more on bears, visit FWP's website at fwp.mt.gov; then click Be Bear Aware. Bear resistant products are de-scribed on the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee's website

YELLOWSTONE RIVER UPDATE:

Numbers of dead fish continue to decline, test results show PKD (BOZEMAN, Mont.)—Test results from a handful of fish collected last week on the Yellowstone River show they died from proliferative kidney disease, or PKD. However, numbers of dead fish being found continues to decline as crews continue monitoring. “Even though PKD was present, it’s clear this year’s outbreak is far less than what we saw last year,” said Eileen Ryce, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks fisheries division administrator. Last summer a proliferative kidney disease, or PKD, outbreak on the upper Yellowstone River led to an emergency closure by FWP and the death of thousands of mountain whitefish, which are native to the river. The microscopic parasite that causes PKD exists in the Yellowstone River system. However, the level of stress fish are under from high water temperatures, low flows and angling pressure seems to have a direct impact on their susceptibility to the disease. “Above average flows and cooler water temperatures are likely the reason we’re seeing much fewer dead fish than we did last summer,” Ryce said. “We’ll continue to monitor the situation, but it appears we’ve avoided anything like we saw last summer.” On Wednesday, FWP’s fisheries staff floated between Grey Owl to Mallard’s Rest Fishing Access Site. They found 13 dead mountain whitefish and two dead suckers. They found no moribund fish, which are live fish close to death and criti-cal for histology testing to determine the cause of mortality. During monitoring floats this week and last, FWP crews have found about 175 dead whitefish. Fisheries staff will con-duct another monitoring float next week.

Main Sperry Chalet Building Lost Due to Sprague Fire Firefighters remain on scene protecting four other chalet complex structures

WEST GLACIER, MT. – Thursday afternoon at approximately 6:00 pm, the main building at Sperry Chalet was lost to the Sprague Fire. The two story stone structure included guest rooms and staff housing. A highly skilled group of firefighters have been working at Sperry Chalet since the fire began in August, installing an extensive hose lay, sprinkler, and pump system to protect all of the structures associated with the chalet. Portions of the chalet were also wrapped with fire resistant material. Firefighters on scene first observed fire activity at the chalet coming from the interior of the building. The Sprague Fire was under a Red Flag Warning for the past two days. The high winds, combined with the hot weather, low relative humidity, and extreme terrain pushed the fire to the north and east, causing the fire to more than double in acreage yesterday to 4,646 acres. The firefighters, supported by four helicopters that flew until last light, made a valiant stand to save the struc-tures. They were unsuccessful in saving the main building at the Sperry Chalet. They worked through the night to protect the four remaining structures. The firefighters are safe. That team will be supported by additional fire-fighters today while they recuperate. According to Glacier National Park Superintendent, Jeff Mow, the structures at Sperry Chalet are iconic historic structures that are widely loved by park employees and visitors from all over the world. The park is deeply sad-dened by this loss but is thankful for the safety of the firefighters. “The Fire Team has worked tirelessly to con-tain this fire and protect structures and infrastructure. The environmental conditions were absolutely extreme yes-terday, as high as anything we’ve seen so far this summer,” said Mow. Sperry Chalet has been operated by concessioner Belton Chalets, Inc. since 1954 and accommodated 40 – 50 overnight visitors per night. The chalet was originally constructed by the Great Northern Railway as part of the system of grand hotels and picturesque chalets in Glacier National Park soon after the park was established in 1910. Construction was completed in 1913. Since then, the chalet has provided backcountry travelers a traditional service by providing hearty meals in a rustic mountain setting. “This event is an important moment in the history of Sperry Chalet and Glacier National Park,” said Sperry Chalet Coordinator Kevin Warrington. “I have been around Sperry for my entire life and I have never expected to see anything like this. It has been a privilege to share Sperry with the great many people that love it, and it is a sad day to share the loss.” Belton Chalets, Inc. also operates the Granite Park Chalet, in another area of the park. As more details are known about the extent of damage to the main Sperry Chalet building and any fire damage to the secondary structures the park will evaluate the next steps about future visitor services in the chalet location. The Avalanche Lake Trail has been closed as fire managers evaluate the Avalanche Creek Drainage for possible spot fires from yesterday’s extreme fire activity, and evaluate the current and planned suppression efforts in the Mt. Brown area. Firefighters are bracing for another critical fire day based on predicted weather. The Sprague Fire started on August 10th and has been the number one fire suppression priority in the park this summer. In addition to structural protection measures for the Sperry Chalet complex, the fire managers have also put in structural protection measures at the Mount Brown Lookout. Due to the lookout’s location, a watering sys-tem or having firefighters remain on site has not been feasible. The lookout has been wrapped with fire resistant material due to its small size to provide some additional fire protection, in addition to helicopter resources. Over the last month, firefighters have also been conducting mitigations and creating structure protection plans for buildings in the Lake McDonald area. The park has seen 20 fire starts this summer, and has employed ground and air resources to suppress them. The park has seen one new fire start in the last two days in the North Fork region of the park. Air and ground re-sources are fighting that fire today, in addition to the Sprague Fire.

Glacier Park Current Park Fire and Road Closure Status Some backcountry campgrounds and trails are closed. The Going-to-the-Sun Road remains closed between Apgar and Logan Pass. WEST GLACIER, MT. – Fire status in Glacier National Park continues to evolve as the season progresses. This is a summary update of current visitor services, fire related closures, and a brief snapshot of each fire. Three large fires are currently burning in Glacier National Park: the Sprague Fire, Adair Peak Fire, and the El-der Creek Fire. All three fires experienced high gusty winds from the east on Sunday evening, with both the Sprague and Adair Peak fires having significant increases in acreage. Fire growth moderated on Monday with lighter winds. Lower temperatures and slightly higher relative humidity is forecast. The Adair Peak Fire, was started by lightning on August 10, was detected on August 12, is located in a remote area of the park on the south side of Logging Lake, and is 1,335 acres. Structure protection is being imple-mented for two National Park Service (NPS) cabins located at the head and foot of Logging Lake, along with the Logging Ranger Station. The fire is not posing an immediate threat to any of these structures. An area clo-sure has been implemented for the surrounding area. Fire managers expect the fire behavior to moderate as this fire enters old fire scars, including the 2001 Moose Fire scar. The Elder Creek Fire lies on the Montana and British Columbia border, and started on the Canadian side on September 2nd. It is currently 1,853 acres, with approximately 80 acres on the US side. Communication be-tween the British Columbia Wildfire Service in Cranbrook and the NPS is ongoing. The Sprague Fire is now 13,343 acres. Heavy localized smoke is causing a reduction in fire behavior which has allowed firefighters more suppression opportunities. Yesterday two helicopters dipped water out of Lake McDonald and worked to cool the fire in the Mt. Brown area and the ridge above the Going-to-the-Sun Road. Overnight firefighters monitored activity on Snyder Ridge and patrolled the Lake McDonald Lodge complex. Lake McDonald Lodge closed for the season on August 30th due to air quality concerns. An evacuation notice was issued on September 3rd for the Lake McDonald area due to fire activity, forcing the closure of the Going-to-the-Sun Road between Apgar Village and Logan Pass; concessions operations in the Lake McDonald Lodge area including boat tours and rentals and guided horseback rides have also closed as a result of this evacuation. Horseback rides and boat rentals are still available in the Apgar area and on the east side of the park. All interpretive programs in the Lake McDonald Lodge and Avalanche areas are cancelled until further notice. Some trails and backcountry campgrounds are closed due to fire activity. Many areas of the park remain OPEN including some areas of the North Fork, Apgar Village, the Going-to-the-Sun Road between St. Mary and Logan Pass, Granite Park Chalet, Two Medicine, St. Mary, and Many Glacier. Please check the park web-site for current conditions including closures at https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/conditions.htm Smoke from all of the fires in Northwest Montana will continue to settle into low-lying areas when air temper-atures cool at night and in the early morning hours. Because of the high pressure system, dense smoke is pre-dicted to impact Lake McDonald. Concentration of smoke is expected to increase over the next few days in the Lake McDonald and West Glacier areas. You can monitor current conditions on the park’s webcams at http://go.nps.gov/glacwebcams. If you encounter smoke while driving, slow down, turn on your headlights, and watch out for people and wild-life. Montana Wildfire Smoke Updates are available on http://svc.mt.gov/deq/todaysair/. If it’s smoky in one area of the park, there are often other areas of the park with better visibility. Smoke conditions vary in intensity, location and duration with fire activity.

Yellowstone conducts commercial vehicle safety inspections MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, WY – Yellowstone National Park rangers are partnering with state and federal transportation officials to conduct safety evaluations of commercial vehicles and operators traveling in the park this summer. The inspections are intended to ensure the safe operation and mechanical soundness of commercial buses and trucks on Yellowstone’s roadways. They evaluate vehicles and drivers in order to ensure full compliance with federal regulations that govern commercial vehicle operation. Inspections help protect visitors, employees, and park resources. This is the 19th year of the interagency inspection program. The program has resulted in a significant decrease in "out-of-service" violations, which require that either a commercial vehicle or a commercial driver be taken off the road due to serious mechanical or driver-specific violations.
