HELENA – The North Hills Fire forced NorthWestern Energy to suspend operations at Hauser Dam for several days. A company spokesperson reported they shut down generation units and evacuated the facility Saturday. Two operators, however, returned to the facility Tuesday morning, and had production back at full capacity by the end of the day. NorthWestern officials say they haven’t found damage at other electrical distribution facilities.
