Leader’s Intent: The Boise Fire is being managed with a full suppression strategy.
Operational Update: Last night’s conducive conditions allowed for another good night of work, with crews focusing again on mopping up and securing the north and west sides of the fire.
Much focus has shifted to the south and east sides of the fire where crews will continue today to work directly on the active fires northeast edge from the Orleans Mountain south, taking advantage of the lessened fire activity to cut that off. They will also continue work from Nordheimer Flat south along the ridgeline and north from High Point Ridge to hold the eastern edge of the fire. They are also scouting contingency lines today and looking at options for containment between the proposed handline and the Salmon River and road.
Weather and Fire Behavior: The weather today is anticipated to be much the same as yesterday, with the inversion lifting early- to mid- afternoon. Fire behavior is expected to remain moderated by higher humidity and cooler temperatures. A wetter system is expected to pass through the fire area tomorrow, with a solid chance of wetting rain in the forecast followed by a return to dry and hot conditions.
