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

Operational Update: Crews continue to make good progress opening and securing lines from previous fires, removing vegetation, limbing trees, widening access, and placing hoselays for access to water. Should the fire push the lines, firefighters have a high chance of catching it in those areas. 

Firefighters also continue to scout other opportunities for containment west of the Salmon River and the structures there. Engines and crews have been in that area for the last several days, assessing and preparing structures in Forks of Salmon and Butler Flat should the fire advance to there.  

They have been able to work directly on the fire’s active southern edge, along the Lubbs Trail and in areas north of the Black Mountain Road. Conditions for strategic firing have been favorable, and crews have been able to fill in small gaps between the fire and the containment lines over the last few days. 

Weather and Fire Behavior:. A low-pressure system is anticipated to move into the area through the weekend, preceded by strong winds which have prompted Red Flag Watches to the east and north of the fire. Moisture will start to push into the area Wednesday night through Thursday. The system is expected to bring clouds and rain into the fire area, along with very unseasonably cool temperatures. The chance of precipitation is expected to increase through Friday, with an 80% chance of wetting rain.
