Yesterday an infrared flight detected a heat source outside of the fire perimeter and an initial attack crew available from the Four Corners fire was able to respond to the fire south of Wilson Meadows.  The crew was able to contain the fire to .10 acre.  Firefighters are also utilizing the infrared flight to detect and put out any heat sources that are near the containment lines. The team will remain vigilant and respond to any other fire reports that are in their response area.

Repair efforts are ongoing in areas where suppression efforts disturbed the soil.  An excavator is working near the Bull Corral creek repairing a large helicopter landing area and placing back materials such as trees and brush that were cut to make the area safe to land helicopters. 

Today crews will continue to focus on patrols and containment line repair where needed.  Aircraft support will be available from the McCall airport when needed.

Smoke will continue to be visible within the fire perimeter. Do not call 911. Instead, report fire activity or smoke within the fire perimeter by calling 208-510-8412. Firefighters will continue to monitor the fire area by air and ground and will respond to any fire activity as necessary.
