Headlines

Leader’s Intent: The Boise Fire is being managed with a full suppression strategy. 

Operational Update: On the fire’s western edge, crews continue to mop up and secure existing containment lines. Hazardous trees are being felled along interior roadways. Improvements continue to be made to the indirect dozer lines. Two spike camps are being utilized near the fire’s edge to decrease firefighters' travel time. Where feasible, suppression repair and road system improvements have started. Firefighters will be backhauling hose, equipment, and other unnecessary items in areas where they are no longer needed.

Weather and Fire Behavior: High pressure will remain over the region this week. Temperatures may be above average for this time of year. As the vegetation dries out from the recent rains, more smoke may be visible from heavier fuels. During peak heat hours, upslope 8 mph winds are expected on the southern and western aspects, with gusts at 10-15mph. Under current conditions, additional fire spread is not likely.
