Boulder Fire (IDBOF)

Wildfire Status:

The Boulder Fire, which started on July 24, 2024, due to a lightning strike, has recently merged with the Lava Fire. The incident is currently located approximately 9 miles southwest of Cascade, Idaho, and has been challenging to contain due to steep terrain and difficult access. The Boise National Forest initially managed the fire, but a Complex Incident Management Team has now been deployed to oversee the response efforts.

Fire crews responded promptly to the initial outbreak, but adverse weather conditions have contributed to the fire's spread. As of the latest update, conditions remain a concern for fire management, with ongoing assessments being made to determine the most effective strategies for containment. The latest information regarding the fire situation and response efforts can be found on the Lava Fire inciweb page, which consolidates details from both incidents.
