Good morning, Bozeman.

Bozeman Firefighters cared for Radar, a stuffed animal that accidentally rode in Fire Engine 1 during a tour, and gave him a sleepover with the crew at Station 1—Radar was returned safely to his owner just in time for today.

The Montana Public Service Commission approved a lower rate for NorthWestern Energy customers by reducing the proposed 8.3% increase to 4.2% on the next billing cycle—this decision followed months of review and an eight-day evidentiary hearing.

NWE must file its opening brief by July 21 and intervenors will submit responses by August 11 as the commission continues its review.

Firefighters are responding to several small wildfires in the Ninemile Ranger District of the Lolo National Forest—crews say the Cedar Creek Fire is contained at 0.1 acres while lightning sparked the 0.5-acre Ch-paa-qn Fire and the 0.10-acre Stark Fire as crews work to size up the McCormick Fire.
