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

Operational Update: Fire activity remained minimal throughout the evening, with minor growth occurring within an interior island. Total burned acreage increased to 12,910 acres and containment has increased to 59%. On the west and south sides of the fire, crews continue to mop up, backhaul equipment, grade roads, and remove hazard trees along roadways. Suppression repair with the help of cultural specialists and resource advisors continues on the west side of the fire and within the contingency line on the east side. Crews will be rehabbing control lines, removing plumbing, and improving indirect hand lines and dozer lines.  

Weather and Fire Behavior: Fuels continue to dry out after recent rain, keeping fire spread at a minimum. Scattered heat remains in certain areas of the fire, with stump holes and snags left to burn out. Hot, dry conditions continue today and through the remainder of the week and into the weekend. Winds will remain light and terrain-driven, with exposed ridges seeing winds from the west at 10 – 15 mph.
