Montana Gov. Steve Bullock signed an executive order declaring a fire emergency as the 250,000-acre Lodgepole Complex fire and other fires scorched more than 300,000 acres since the start of the year. The declaration allows the mobilization of state resources and the Montana National Guard to fight the fires and access to money from the state’s general fund to address contingencies.
