Several fires are burning on forest land throughout eastern Idaho and each of them is requiring a little different management approach. A cooling trend, starting Wednesday, may bring some moisture and some relief.
In the meantime, the Caribou-Targhee National Forest reported Monday:
Boone -- The Boone fire was detected August 16, approximately 25 miles north of Driggs, ID on the Wyoming border. The fire is approximately 89 acres in size. The CTNF is aware of several important values in the area including BSA Camp Loll and structures within Squirrel Meadows. The fire currently poses minimal threat to these resources. Should conditions change, additional steps will be taken. Fire behavior was moderated due to precipitation, but it remains creeping and smoldering with isolated single-tree and group-tree torching.
