Wildfire Status:

The Limepoint Fire, which includes the Oxbow and Cliff Mountain Fires, is now fully contained with a perimeter containment status of 100%. Fire managers have confirmed that there is no immediate threat of fire spread; however, they are actively monitoring for isolated hotspots that may flare up until snow covers the affected areas. If these hotspots are detected, firefighting resources will be deployed as necessary to suppress them.

Currently, Burned Area Emergency Recovery (BAER) efforts are underway in regions impacted by the fire to mitigate sediment runoff into streams and stabilize the landscape. This work is critical, especially in areas where high fire intensity was recorded, which accounts for about 7% of the total burned area. The aim of BAER is to prevent erosion and address the ecological impacts of vegetation loss as winter approaches.

The fire closure for the Limepoint Fire has been lifted, and there are no existing restrictions related to this incident. However, caution is advised when entering burned areas due to potential hazards such as unstable terrain, hazard trees, and increased risk of flash flooding and debris flows. Additionally, abandoned hunter warming fires have been reported, diverting firefighting resources from ongoing recovery efforts. All fire restrictions in the Payette National Forest have been lifted, but visitors are reminded to supervise campfires closely and ensure they are completely extinguished.
