Mineral Fire is the 5th-largest wildfire this season in Idaho, burning 20 miles northwest of Weiser.

Latest update

The Mineral Fire is actively burning along the Snake River in the vicinity of the old Mineral mining town.  Firefighters with support from dozers and aerial asset have been conducting initial attack on the fire since it was first reported this morning (September 2nd).  

The fire is estimated at 15,000 acres and firefighters were focusing on holding the fire at the Rock Creek Road, but unfortunately spot fires have spread the fire into Wolf Creek drainage and up towards Coyote Mountain.  Fire is established in Rock Creek and Little Rock Creek on the south end of the fire, and in Wolf Creek and moving towards Coyote Mountain on the north end of the fire.  Weiser Rural Fire is conducting structure protection for ranches in the area.

While no official evacuation has been ordered yet,  officials are working on clearing people out of the Monroe  Creek and Adams Creek areas.

Large Airtankers, Single Engine Air Tankers and Type 1 Helicopters worked the fire throughout the day, but the dry fuels carried the fire quickly through the area.

The Mineral Fire is on BLM lands but under the fire response of the Payette National Forest.  Both agencies with assistance from Weiser Rural Fire are actively working the fire.
