Shingle (IDNCF)

Wildfire Status:

The Shingle wildfire, which ignited from a prescribed burn on the Windy Shingle unit, is currently active and has spread to approximately 100 acres. The fire began as a result of burning material rolling out of the designated burn area into steep and inaccessible terrain in Shingle Creek. As a result, fire management has transitioned the incident to a wildfire classification for administrative and resource ordering purposes. The incident was officially recognized as a wildfire on May 5, 2025, and appropriate resources have been mobilized to address the situation.

Fire agencies, including the Salmon River Ranger District, have taken proactive measures to manage the fire. A Type 3 Incident Commander has been assigned, and crews are actively monitoring the inaccessible areas using ground teams, drones (UAS), and infrared detection technologies. Currently, all containment lines have been established, and the fire is in a patrol and monitoring status. Fire crews will continue to patrol the area and address any hotspots that may arise.

Weather conditions in the region are critical to the ongoing firefighting efforts, though specific details on current weather conditions have not been provided. The fire management team remains vigilant, ensuring that they can effectively respond to any changes in the fire's behavior or the surrounding environment. The focus remains on containment and the safety of both the firefighting personnel and nearby communities.
