Today just before 330pm PRFD was dispatched to a reported grass fire off of Seifert Rd near Back Rd. Upon arrival, units found a fast moving fire burning through tall grass and mutual aid was requested from Ronan Volunteer Fire Department, City of Polson Fire Department, and CSKT Division of Fire. We were able to contain the fire at just under 10 acres.

The fire was human caused, and we want to remind the public that even with some rain and cooler weather, we are still in fire season and fires have potential to get out of control. In addition, debris burning is not open until October 1st.

We want to thank all assisting agencies for their help.

Exciting Progress at the Polson Fire Training Center!

A huge thank you to Ronan Fire Department and Chief Chris Adler for donating these shipping containers and helping get them delivered to us. We also want to thank the City of Polson Water and Street Departments for their help getting the containers set and on the ground.

Polson City Fire is excited to be moving forward with the next phase of our training center. This phase will add three live-fire training props:

• Dumpster fire prop
• Vehicle fire prop
• Structure fire prop

The shipping containers will be converted into training props using specially designed doors, windows, burn cells, and other components purchased from Taylor'd Containers Fire Training Props. Much of the installation and construction will be completed by our own volunteer firefighters.

These additions will give our firefighters a dedicated place to practice realistic fireground skills in a controlled training environment. Just as importantly, the facility will help us continue improving firefighter safety, readiness, and the service we provide to our community.

We appreciate everyone who has helped move this project forward. We’re excited to see the training center continue to take shape!’d
