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

Operational Update: The Boise Fire received 1 ¼ – 1 ½ inches of rain. Today, crews worked on regaining access to the fire area after the rain and assessing needs. Some road system damage was discovered that will need to be repaired in order to reach some areas of the fire. Firefighters plan to improve indirect line near China Creek and Forks of Salmon. Crews will continue to patrol and mop up direct fire lines on the west and south sides of the fire. Crews are also working on gaining access through China Creek and Nordheimer Trail to the fire’s edge. Yesterday, the Incident Command Post moved to Etna. 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. 

Weather and Fire Behavior: Drier weather returns to the area and temperatures are forecast to rise. Fuels will begin to dry out, but not significantly enough for fire behavior to increase much. As conditions continue to dry, fire activity is expected to pick up again as the week goes on.
