Wildfire Update: Power Service Impact and Safety Notice

For customers in 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬, 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐧: Due to fire evacuations, we are currently unable to access the affected area to assess and repair power outages. We will address the power infrastructure as soon as it is safe to do so.

For 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 customers: We are actively monitoring the fire in the area and will conduct damage assessments as soon as conditions allow us to safely do so. Stay informed and follow local guidelines.

Be aware, wildfires can cause downed power lines, which are extremely dangerous. If you see downed power lines, stay away from the line and call Montana-Dakota at 800-638-3278. A downed power line should always be considered extremely dangerous – keep away and never approach a downed power line. Power lines draped over highway barriers or fences can energize them for great distances. Don’t touch anything that’s in contact with the wire. Don’t drive over a downed power line. If a power line falls on your car, stay in your car. You’re safe as long as you do.

We will continue to be proactive in providing information. Monitor this website or our social media sites for updates. Thank you for your understanding, and please be safe.
