A second prescribed fire entry has appeared in Lewis and Clark County wildfire records, this one listed as the Dalton 2 RX fire. As of October 5, zero acres are recorded as burned, and the cause is listed as undetermined.
Like the Ethel 2 RX fire logged in the same county around the same time, the Dalton 2 RX carries the "RX" designation indicating it is a managed prescribed burn. The clustering of two RX fire entries in Lewis and Clark County within the same reporting window may reflect coordinated land management activity by state or federal agencies preparing for fall burn conditions.
No smoke advisories or affected addresses were associated with the Dalton 2 RX in available records. Residents near burn units on the Helena National Forest or DNRC lands are encouraged to monitor air quality advisories as conditions allow for ignition.
