The National Forest Service announced Tuesday afternoon that multiple fires are burning in the Boise National Forest. Fire crews are responding to several fires within the Cascade and Lowman districts, according to a news release. One of the fires, the Canyon Fire, was roughly 137 acres Tuesday, and is located southeast of the Bull Trout Campground and 14 miles west of Stanley. According to the news release, the steep terrain is making the fire difficult for firefighters to access the area. There are 113 firefighters on scene that include ground crews, helicopters and engines, as well as other resources, according to the news release. Firefighters are also responding to smoke near Warm Lake in the Cascade Ranger district, though those fires are reported to be less than an acre in size. As of Tuesday there is no threat to life or property, according to the news release.
