Department staff summarized weekly activity, citing counts and recent responses: "17 office visits, 45 phone calls" and "we had five incidents this week," the speaker said.
Staff reported a local wildland fire of roughly 1.5 acres and described sending a crew to the Davis Fire on Kroger reservation for two days. The speaker also said Milstone responded to a motor-vehicle collision in Rosebud County under mutual aid arrangements. Staff issued one burn permit and completed two address verifications (one in Melstone and one in city limits) during the week.
The update flagged operational workload and readiness matters, including continued attention to burning-season rules pending incoming weather, and coordination with neighboring jurisdictions for mutual-aid responses. No budget requests or formal policy changes were introduced in the meeting record.
