Goat Fire (IDBOF)

Wildfire Status:

The Goat Fire, currently active in Idaho, is part of the West Mountain Fires, which also includes the Snag Fire and Dollar Fire. The Rocky Mountain Complex Incident Management Team Three, led by Incident Commander Bill Waln, is managing the response efforts. As of the latest update, the fire is being closely monitored, with no containment percentage reported yet. The situation remains dynamic, and fire agencies are coordinating closely to manage this incident effectively.

Firefighters are actively working to strengthen control lines in anticipation of a warm and drying trend expected over the weekend. Fortunately, cooler temperatures and high humidity have contributed to minimal fire activity recently. Nonetheless, the larger fuels and needle cast from fire-weakened trees are still being consumed, which could lead to increased fire behavior if conditions change.

Stage 1 fire restrictions are currently in place across the Boise National Forest, Idaho Department of Lands, and Bureau of Land Management territories within the West Central Mountains Fire Restrictions Zone. Residents and visitors are advised to stay informed about evacuation orders and road closures through the Valley County Sheriff's Facebook page or by contacting them directly.
