Fire Contained on Mount Helena

A wildfire erupted on the north face of Mount Helena, quickly contained by Monday afternoon thanks to coordinated efforts from local firefighters and a state helicopter. Though extinguished, crews continue dropping water to fully suppress the blaze, whose cause remains under investigation. Authorities urge residents to stay away from the mountain and trailhead, and drones are strictly prohibited — a safety measure after a drone once delayed firefighting efforts in 2022. No evacuations were needed, but nearby neighborhoods should remain vigilant as crews finish the job. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
