Good morning, Helena.

Helena firefighters were called late Monday to a fire at the Department of Environmental Quality building on Cedar Street.

Historical accounts show that residents in 1935 faced a powerful earthquake that destroyed a new high school, damaged homes, and forced students to attend classes in railcars.

Stories include recollections from locals such as Sis Southwick & people who sheltered in dance halls and tents during aftershocks.

East Helena Public Schools said families affected by the government shutdown should file for free and reduced-price lunch today to help about 700 students get two meals a day—if the shutdown lasts longer, funding for the program may become a concern.
