2024 Flat 2024
2024 Flat is the 2nd-largest wildfire this season in Idaho, burning 11 miles north of Idaho City.
Latest update
The Flat Fire is located approximately one mile northeast of Pioneerville in Boise County. The fire started on August 5 after a thunderstorm went through the area. Crews from Boise National Forest were initially assigned to the fire and Idaho Department of Lands assumed responsibility on August 8. No structures are currently threatened, and the fire continues to move east, away from the community of Pioneerville. This is a full suppression strategy fire.
As a result of reduced fire behavior and significant containment around the fire, management of the Flat Fire will be transitioned to an Idaho Department of Lands Type 4 organization on Tuesday, August 27 at 6:00 a.m. The Type 4 organization will retain necessary resources to monitor and patrol the fire perimeter along the 2016 Pioneer Fire burn scar and address hot spots if found.
This will be the final fire information update unless significant fire activity occurs.
