Every year Missoulians face the threat of wildfires and every year the Missoula Fire Department (MFD) is there on the front lines doing their part. We not only suppress these fires, but we also provide an array of services to make property owners and residents safer and better prepared in the event of wildfires.
MFD has a total of 6 wildland vehicles with additional support vehicles available for wildland dispatch. MFD also supports an all-hazards Type 3 Incident Management Team (IMT) which consists of multiple overhead positions that take lead on various disaster related events.

Protect Yourself From Wildfire Smoke
Smoke from local and regional fires often fill Missoula's air late in the summer and early in the fall. Thick smoke can pose risks to your health. Learn who is at the greatest risk and how to protect yourself and your loved ones from the Center for Disease Control.
