Snow packed roads. Black ice. Low visibility. Montana winters create unpredictable driving conditions, and while many of us are heading home, emergency workers are heading toward danger.

Firefighters, law enforcement, EMS, tow truck operators, and road crews work just feet from passing traffic in some of the harshest conditions of the year. They can’t control the weather, but drivers can control their speed.

When you see flashing lights ahead:

🔹 Slow down immediately
🔹 Move over to the next lane if safe
🔹 Give responders room to work

Winter roads increase stopping distance and reduce traction. Slowing down isn’t just courteous, it’s critical because a little space saves lives

You can do your part this winter. Slow down. Move over. Keep Montana’s emergency workers safe.

Crushing chest pain is the stereotypical heart attack symptom. But other symptoms can be subtle. Dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea and unusual fatigue can all signal this medical emergency. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a trip to the ER could be a life saver.

Even in the middle of winter, Montana is experiencing warm, dry, and windy conditions that increase wildfire risk across the state. Remember, the best time to prepare is before a wildfire occurs and practice prevention habits year round.

Here’s how you can help protect your community and support fire prevention efforts:
✔️ Avoid debris burning until conditions improve. Always check with local authorities first.
✔️ Prevent roadside fires by securing trailer chains, maintaining exhaust systems, and checking tires and brakes.
✔️ Carry basic fire tools like a shovel, water, or extinguisher when using equipment outdoors.
✔️ Fully extinguish campfires and backyard burns. Drown, stir, and feel for heat before leaving.
✔️ Report smoke or unattended fire immediately by calling 9-1-1.
✔️ Prepare your home and family now: create defensible space and sign up for local emergency alerts.

Winter wildfire is unusual, but together we can reduce the risk. Let’s all do our part to keep Montana safe.
