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

Operational Update: Yesterday, fire activity moderated due to cooler weather and cloud cover. Firefighters worked on mopping up and patrolling the north and west edges of the fire. Crews are nearing the completion of constructing indirect line from Nordheimer Flat to Mullins Camp. Line construction along the southern portion of the fire is expected to take one more day of work. Crews continue to prepare and plan for structure protection. 

Incoming wetting rain may cause challenges or delays in accessing the fire area, and crews in many areas will be assessing their ability to work today as they go. However, crews will remain assigned to the Boise Fire as there is still a considerable amount of uncontained fire edge within indirect lines. With warm, dry conditions ahead, fire managers will be monitoring carefully for activity as vegetation is expected to return quickly to critically dry levels. 

Weather and Fire Behavior: Wetting rain is expected over the fire area today and tomorrow, with notably colder temperatures. This system is expected to pass out of the area by the end of the weekend with a return to much more seasonable conditions on Monday.
