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

Operational Update: Yesterday, fire activity moderated due to rain over the fire area. Crews were held from the fire line yesterday due to weather. Today, roads must be inspected for hazards before crews can safely return to engaging in containment efforts. 

Today, crews plan to continue to patrol the west side of the fire and backhaul materials and equipment. On the eastside of the fire, firefighters will continue to prep containment lines.  

The Incident Command Post will be moving to Etna today. Base camps will remain in Aikens Creek and Forks of Salmon to continue to keep firefighters within reasonable travel time and provide coverage to both sides of the fire area. 

Yesterday, some crews were released from the incident as conditions continue to improve. Significant resources 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 to continue over the fire area until this afternoon. 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.
