The broom, a dense mass of branches, is the result of dwarf mistletoe, a parasitic plant impacting Montana forests.</p> <p>“A lot of times infected trees look really green and healthy, but it’s actually just the mistletoe, the parasitic plant,” said Amy Gannon, who runs the Forest Pest Management Program for the Montana Department of Natural Resources & Conservation (DNRC).</p> <p>Every species of Montana conifer, except Ponderosa pine, has been targeted by its own specific mistletoe. The infection starts small, then grows for years, or even decades, slowly choking the tree beneath it.</p> <p>“They have to have a living host and they draw the nutrients from the host tree,” Gannon said. “That’s robbing the tree of all the nutrients, and the rest of the tree is dying. So, the top of that tree is dying.”</p> <p>As the infection progresses, the parasite becomes more and more visible. As hormonal changes occur in the tree, witches’ brooms grow large, protruding out in heavy, dense clusters. The infection spreads, attacking more than one tree in a stand.</p> <p>“It’s important to recognize that these plants are raining seeds down on the understory,” Gannon said. “They shoot seeds, and they can go 20, 30 feet, and then they’ll stick on the understory.”</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">KXLF-TV CBS 4 Butte</h4> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button" href="https://www.kxlf.com/news/montana-news/inside-the-witches-broom-the-tree-infection-catching-montana-conifers" style="background-color:#b33232">View Full Story</a></div></div> <p></p><p>The post <a href="https://dailydispatch.com/news/montana/inside-the-witches-broom-the-tree-infection-catching-montana-conifers/">Inside the witches’ broom: The tree infection catching Montana conifers</a> appeared first on <a href="https://dailydispatch.com">Daily Dispatch</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">424720</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Truck driver flown to hospital after crashing into bridge pillar on I-15 in Bingham County</title> <link>https://dailydispatch.com/news/idaho/truck-driver-flown-to-hospital-after-crashing-into-bridge-pillar-on-i-15-in-bingham-county/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[dlini]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2025 16:00:56 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Idaho Fire News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Idaho]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dailydispatch.com/?p=424715</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>PHOTOS: A Jerome man was flown to the hospital Thursday night after crashing into a bridge pillar on Interstate 15 near Blackfoot.

A green code will mean that burning is allowed, while yellow means burning is discouraged, and red will mean burning is prohibited. </p> <p>In 2024, the burn code was in place for 120 days. 117 of those days were green and three were yellow. The last red code was issued in December 2017. The burn code applies to residences in certain ZIP codes from Washoe Valley to the Silver Knolls area.

Newly released body cam video captures the dramatic rescue that happened in the early morning hours of Oct. 14. The woman claimed she was sitting near the edge of the canal when she fell in.</p> <p>Police said the woman’s phone was still able to call 911 despite her falling in the water. Officers used a retractable ladder to aid in their rescue efforts. “Keep climbing, we’re going to get you,” one of the officers can be heard saying to the woman. As the woman was trying to climb out, she can be heard crying and very emotional. “Don’t let me go,” she said.</p> <p>The Phoenix Fire Department said she was fortunate to make it out alright, but that isn’t always the case when it comes to scenarios like this. “They (the canals) can be very dangerous, they have really steep concrete walls that make escape really difficult,” said Phoenix Fire Capt. Mike Johnson. He said another danger of these canals is the deceptive current and what’s underneath the water, including debris that you can get tangled up in or stuck on.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">KTVK-TV CBS 3 & KPHO-TV CBS 5 Phoenix (AZ Family)</h4> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button" href="https://www.azfamily.com/2025/10/31/bodycam-video-shows-dramatic-rescue-after-woman-falls-canal/" style="background-color:#b33232" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View Full Story</a></div></div> <p></p><p>The post <a href="https://dailydispatch.com/news/arizona/bodycam-video-shows-dramatic-rescue-after-woman-falls-in-phoenix-canal/">Bodycam video shows dramatic rescue after woman falls in Phoenix canal</a> appeared first on <a href="https://dailydispatch.com">Daily Dispatch</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">424141</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Fire at Herschel Parts in Indianola extinguished, blaze’s cause traced to equipment</title> <link>https://dailydispatch.com/news/iowa/fire-at-herschel-parts-in-indianola-extinguished-blazes-cause-traced-to-equipment/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Jordan Cruz]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:15:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Iowa Fire News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Iowa]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Plains Region]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dailydispatch.com/?p=423235</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Agricultural parts manufacturer Herschel Parts sustained a fire at its Indianola facility Thursday morning that led employees to evacuate. </p><p>The post <a href="https://dailydispatch.com/news/iowa/fire-at-herschel-parts-in-indianola-extinguished-blazes-cause-traced-to-equipment/">Fire at Herschel Parts in Indianola extinguished, blaze’s cause traced to equipment</a> appeared first on <a href="https://dailydispatch.com">Daily Dispatch</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Agricultural parts manufacturer Herschel Parts sustained a fire at its Indianola facility Thursday morning that led employees to evacuate.
