First Responders
For fire or medical emergencies, first call the Powell County Sheriff’s Office at 406-846-1650 or 406-846-2711. Be sure to give your location as exactly as you can, including your physical address. GPS coordinates are very helpful.
A helicopter response may be the best choice in a life-threatening emergency. The sheriff’s office or 911 operator can make that contact for you, but the quickest way is to call yourself. Here are the closest medical responders:
Life Flight–Missoula: 800-232-0911 or 208-367-3114
REACH Air Medical Services—Helena 406-788-0073
Be prepared to give GPS coordinates for your location and to direct the helicopter to a treeless landing zone of 100 feet square on level ground. Use vehicle headlights or flashlights to illuminate the landing area at night.
