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

Operational Update: Firefighters patrolled the areas closest to structures overnight, as well as the Black Mountain Road area, where the fire has come down to the road. They are watching carefully for any still-smoldering material which can roll off the steep slope and ignite the unburned area across the road.  

Firefighters completed the northern-most indirect line yesterday, leaving it prepared and plumbed should fire reach it. They have now hiked off the ridgeline and come back to camp, just in time for inclement weather.  

The fire’s spread on the eastern side yesterday was well within indirect containment lines in the China Creek drainage. Crews estimate that they have another day of work on that line before it is completed, and they will continue that today as weather allows.  

Weather and Fire Behavior: A low-pressure system is moving into the area today with light rain anticipated by nightfall. A stronger system is expected, with an 80% chance of wetting rain arriving on Saturday. Sunday will remain unsettled, with hot, dry temperatures returning to the area on Monday.
