Wildfire Status:
The Wolf Creek Fire, located approximately 5 miles southwest of Donnelly, Idaho, was detected on July 24, 2024, following a lightning storm. As of August 28, 2024, the fire has been successfully contained with 100% of its perimeter secured. The incident has transitioned to a Type 4 Incident Command organization under the management of the Payette National Forest, which will oversee the continued monitoring and mopping up of the area. Currently, the fire has impacted a total area of 1,154 acres, and local firefighting resources remain engaged to address any lingering hot spots, particularly in the Little Weiser River drainage.
In terms of response, approximately 65 personnel are actively involved in suppression and repair efforts. These efforts focus on reducing the risk of flare-ups by addressing heat sources within the fire-affected region. Furthermore, a larger Fire Closure Order is currently in effect, restricting access to the burned area due to ongoing hazards. This closure includes specific roads and trails, including the Poison Timber Point Road and Poison Timber Trail, ensuring safety while recovery efforts continue.
Weather conditions have played a critical role in managing the fire. Following the initial lightning strike that ignited the blaze, fire agencies have been closely monitoring the weather patterns to mitigate any risks posed by changing conditions. As the situation stabilizes, updates will be provided through the Payette National Forest Fire Hotline, with additional information about the closure and recovery efforts available through official channels. For those interested, more details regarding access restrictions can be found at the official USDA Forest Service website.
