⚠️ELK FIRE UPDATE⚠️

Working with the team managing the Elk Fire, the Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office has placed a few new areas into new evacuation status to give residents time to plan ahead.

A similar weather pattern occurred over the fire area last weekend, which caused erratic fire behavior.

This includes residences along Smith Creek Road and Columbus Creek Road. • Eaton’s Ranch New areas in “Ready” include: • South of Montana state line to Wy HWY 343, east to I-90, and east to Barker Road.
