NW Montana Hazardous Fuels 

Landowners’  Guide to Cost-Share Funding

The treatment of hazardous fuels is one of the most proactive ways to reduce potential loss of life and property in the event of a wildland fire.  By following Firewise™ practices, creating defensible space, and treating fuels, you can lower your fire risk while increasing the chances that fire protection agencies can effectively deal with a wildland fire should it occur.  Cost- share funding is available now in some areas to help landowners with the cost of reducing their  hazardous fuels.

GETTING STARTED – for general information and to find out if your property is in one of the current priority treatment areas, contact us at:NW Montana Hazardous Fuels, FEPC, 919 Elk Park Road, Columbia Falls, MT 59912
