Kalispell Apartment Fire, Massive Windstorm Outages & Ronan Court Case


Listen Later

Host Taylor Inman breaks down the biggest stories impacting communities across the Flathead Valley and Northwest Montana. Firefighters quickly extinguished a blaze at the Courtyard Apartments near Kalispell’s Airport Road, preventing serious injuries while several residents were evaluated for smoke inhalation.

Meanwhile, thousands of residents across Lincoln and Flathead counties were left without power after a severe windstorm swept through the region, knocking down trees, closing schools and forcing travel restrictions as crews worked to restore electricity.

The episode also examines a court development in Lake County, where a Ronan man entered an Alford plea in a case involving allegations of abuse of a vulnerable person.

Additional stories include coverage of a Democratic congressional forum held in Whitefish as candidates compete to replace outgoing U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke, a proposed Kalispell policy change that could eliminate public hearings for subdivision proposals, and new logging activity tied to the Frozen Moose Project in the North Fork area of the Flathead National Forest.
