In October, Susie Watson decided to host a bake sale to help raise funds for the Montana Wildfire Relief Fund. That one sold out in four hours, so she decided to host another one on Tuesday at North 40. Watson says she understands the sacrifices these firefighters make because she used to be one. This is just one way for Watson to thank all the firefighters who helped during such a stressful fire season. People and organizations have so far donated more than $500,000 to the Montana Wildfire Relief Fund. The money from the fund will be allocated to volunteer fire departments, fire districts, and communities or individuals impacted by the recent wildfire season. The fund was created by MTN and the Montana Community Foundation to help organizations, first responders, and communities affected by the 2017 wildfire season.
