Glacier National Park officials report that an early morning incident on July 24 involving the furnace at the St. Mary Visitor Center triggered the building’s sprinkler system.
The furnace malfunction may have started a fire. Water damage to the building, its contents and some utilities forced the visitor center to be closed.
The extent of the damage and how visitor center operations and services will be conducted is unknown at this time.
