Current through Register Vol. 18, September 20, 2024
(1) The department before recommending to the governor that an area be closed because of fire danger will evaluate each request upon its own merits, but will not make such a recommendation until it has determined that:
(a) the county has met the measures specified
in ARM 36.10.202;
(b) extreme burning conditions exist that
exceed the normal seasonal conditions and endanger life and property and that
these conditions are predicted to continue;
(c) the county has taken actions on fires
that have previously occurred, but the county appears unable to cope with
additional fires;
(d) the county
will enforce the closure, if granted, to ensure its effectiveness.
