2024 Boise Fire (CASRF)

Wildfire Status:

The Boise Fire, which was first reported on August 9, 2024, is currently active and burning near Le Perron Flat, approximately four miles southeast of Orleans, California. As of the latest update on September 7, 2024, the fire has grown to a size of 12,913 acres, with 91% of its perimeter contained. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and efforts are ongoing to monitor its activity.

The response to the Boise Fire involves a coordinated effort from the Six Rivers and Klamath National Forests, which have assumed command of their respective sides of the fire. A total of 533 personnel are currently engaged in firefighting and suppression repair operations. Significant progress has been made on the western portion of the fire, where suppression repair is actively taking place, guided by cultural and resource advisors to minimize impacts to the area's natural and cultural resources. On the eastern side, suppression repair operations have been completed, and snagging and chipping efforts are continuing in and around the fire area.

Weather conditions in the region are currently favorable for firefighting efforts, with a slight cooling trend expected. Temperatures are anticipated to be in the mid to high 80s, with relative humidity levels ranging from the mid 20s to high 30s. Winds are light and variable, primarily coming from the south, which should help mitigate the potential for fire spread. Although fuel moistures are recovering, they still support creeping surface fire, but no significant growth of the fire is expected in the near future. Fire crews will continue to monitor the area closely as the situation evolves.
