NorthWestern Energy committed to support for people impacted by West Wind Fire
Date: Dec 2, 2021
Butte, Mont. – Dec. 2, 2021–NorthWestern Energy and the proper authorities in Montana are investigating the cause of the West Wind Fire in Judith Basin and Fergus counties. While the cause of the fire is under investigation, it appears to have originated from a high wind event involving a NorthWestern Energy power line southwest of Denton.
“Emergency responders and fire departments from throughout central Montana, including multiple volunteer fire departments, worked in extreme conditions and we are grateful for their service and that their efforts prevented serious injuries or loss of human life,” said NorthWestern Energy CEO Bob Rowe. “NorthWestern Energy is committed to supporting residents displaced by the West Wind Fire and those who have suffered property losses.”
NorthWestern Energy is working directly with local authorities and the citizens of Denton to provide support and assistance to those impacted by the West Wind Fire.
