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

Operational Update: Yesterday, crews were successful in securing additional open line on the east side of the fire, resulting in increased containment. Today, crews will continue to repair control lines and secure direct fire lines along the eastern perimeter of the fire. Firefighters are working closely with resource advisors and cultural specialists to identify, assess and implement suppression repair across the fire area. Resources are working to maintain road access within the fire footprint by removing snags as needed. Efforts also focus on improving roadways, as the footprint of the fire overlays old burn scars. Additionally, personnel are continuing to backhaul unnecessary equipment and materials. Fire behavior increased slightly yesterday due to persistent hot and dry conditions coupled with wind, resulting in 1-acre of growth. All fire activity and growth has remained well within containment lines. 

Weather and Fire Behavior: Today cooler weather is forecasted, with temperatures dropping by 10 to 15 degrees and minimum relative humidity remaining above 40%. Winds will generally be light and terrain-driven, though exposed ridges may experience winds coming from the west southwest at 6-9 mph. By Tuesday, high pressure will begin to rebuild, bringing a return to hot and dry conditions for the rest of the week.
