MISSOULA — The Stage II fire restrictions now in place for the City of Missoula and Missoula County caused the Missoula Paddleheads to change their plans for Saturday night's game.
The fireworks shows at Ogren Park are major draws for the community, but current fire restrictions mean no campfires, no open flame during certain hours, and no explosives.
