2024 Boise Fire (CASRF)

Wildfire Status:

The Boise Fire, which ignited on August 9, 2024, near Le Perron Flat in the Six Rivers National Forest, has currently burned approximately 12,913 acres and is 91% contained. As of September 7, 2024, a total of 533 personnel are actively engaged in firefighting efforts. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Significant events include ongoing suppression repair operations, particularly on the western side of the fire, which aim to mitigate impacts on cultural and natural resources. The eastern side has completed its suppression repair, while snagging and chipping operations are ongoing throughout the fire area to manage leftover debris.

Fire management operations are being led by the Klamath National Forest and the North Coast Interagency Type 3 Team, which took command on September 6. The firefighting strategy includes monitoring for any potential growth of the fire. Current weather conditions are favorable for containment, with temperatures expected to cool into the mid to high 80s, relative humidity ranging from the mid 20s to high 30s, and light variable winds from the south. These conditions are expected to support only creeping surface fires, with no significant spread anticipated.

For public safety, specific fire closure areas have been established within the Six Rivers and Klamath National Forests, effective from August 16 to September 15, 2024. Access to these areas is restricted to minimize risk during ongoing firefighting efforts and to protect both personnel and resources. The situation continues to be closely monitored, and updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
