Interstate accidents present unique challenges for our emergency responders. Vehicles traveling at high speeds, distracted drivers, and poor visibility can turn an already dangerous situation into an even worse one. Responders often have to work quickly in extricating patients or providing care, with the constant risk of secondary accidents caused by traffic. We set up cones, traffic signs, and use emergency vehicle flashing lights to help create a buffer zone and guide traffic through our... Full story
Winter has arrived, and with it, dangerous driving conditions! At this time of year, the roads are always unpredictable, and whether you are a seasoned Montana driver or have never driven in snowy, icy conditions, it is always a good idea to refresh yourself on a few key factors when commuting in the cold. The Willow Creek Fire Department has seen a drastic uptick in the number of motor vehicle accidents we respond to in the last few years - in fact, they make up the majority of our call... Full story

After losing to Grady Schmidt of Huntley Project in the next round, Todd bounced back with a 6-5 decision win over Maddox...
On Monday, January 6, lawmakers convened at the State Capitol Building in Helena for the 69th session of the Montana State Legislature. With the session, which will run until May 9, underway, elected officials will debate many important issues, including a few that we hope will receive the full attention of the Treasure State's governing body. One issue of paramount concern not only in the Three Forks area but statewide is teacher pay and retention. Throughout the year, the Three Forks Voice... Full story
While I’m not quite sure I would describe it as a “set in stone” resolution at the end of 2024, I did want to make sure that I would at least make a valiant effort in the New Year to stop getting so frustrated all the time with my surroundings, especially when I am traveling or out and about in public. It’s been a few years since I considered making a resolution, mainly because they never seemed to last long. In fact, I was lucky if they lasted until St. Patrick’s Day. With my eye on not getting so frustrated, I was put to the test very earl...

It was a fantastic start to 2025 for the Three Forks High School Girls' Basketball team. In their first game since December 20, the Lady Wolves (3-3, 1-2 5B) were strong from the start on their way to a 43-24 home victory on January 2 against visiting Townsend. It was quite the defensive performance for Three Forks, who, after taking a 14-7 lead at the end of the first quarter, allowed just four points in the second quarter and led 27-11 at halftime. Leading 35-20 at the end of three quarters,... Full story
Montana is suing Yellowstone National Park over a plan to increase the number of bison in and around the park and establish greater tolerance for their presence outside its boundaries. In a press release announcing the lawsuit, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte criticized the National Park Service for how it developed the plan, describing the effort as an example of "federal overreach" and saying it was created without proper state consultation. "The National Park Service has repeatedly and...
For the second consecutive game, the Three Forks High School Boys' Basketball team held a conference foe under 40 points in a 55-38 home win on January 2 against Townsend.

"I thought we executed great... Full story
Montana Senate President Matt Regier, R-Kalispell, doesn't believe the tension between the courts and the state legislature should be characterized as a war between two coequal branches of government; however, he does believe that lawmakers have an obligation to check the power of the judicial system during the upcoming legislative session. Speaking at a press conference with Speaker of the House Brandon Ler and two additional members of the Republican leadership, Regier said that when the 69th... Full story
Montana State University scientists say the frozen remnants of an ancient forest discovered 600 feet above the modern tree line on the Beartooth Plateau may portend possible changes for the alpine ecosystem if the climate continues to warm. A paper about the discovery was published Dec. 30 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It describes what scientists have learned by studying the remains of a mature whitebark pine forest that formed at 10,000 feet elevation about...
