Four Corners Fire
Publication Type: News 09/12/2022
Firefighters deployed 100 miles of hose and 93 portable pumps that are being back hauled to be returned to service for other fires as needed. Towards the end of every incident, firefighters remove materials used during suppression operations. Some resources will be reassigned or begin the demobilization process.
Firefighters continue to mop-up, patrol and secure the perimeter. Crews will be working in the area to continue suppression repair efforts in various portions of the fire. Suppression repair on a wildfire is completed to reduce the environmental impacts that crews and equipment made during firefighting operations. These efforts reduce potential soil erosion and repair damage to infrastructure. The Forest Closure will continue to be reassessed, but for now will remain in place until it is safe for the public to recreate in the area. The French Creek and Campbell creek subdivisions will remain in the “SET” stage. Night operation efforts will remain for a couple more nights.
Smoke will be visible on the mountain, inside the perimeter within the foreseeable future. Do not call 911. To report fire activity or smoke within the fire perimeter call 208.510.8412. Firefighters will continue to monitor the fire area by air and ground and will respond to any fire activity as necessary.
