Idaho Department of Lands officials said the Hatwai Fire in Lewiston is 76 acres as of Monday evening. The change is from the original report of 50 to 60 acres and is not the result of fire growth, officials said in a press release. Fire crews kept the fire within its perimeter and was at 50% containment. IDL Fire’s own Teakean Hand Crew arrived Monday and extinguished smoldering heavy fuels and did close checks for fire heat at the black edge of the burned fire area. A structure and outbuilding were still threatened by the fire on Monday. Predicted weather of hot, dry, and windy conditions continues to be of concern. The fire cause is still under investigation. The Hatwai Fire started in a barn just before midnight on July 31 after some hay caught fire. It originally threatened 10 to 20 homes but no structures were lost Sunday night.
