August Fire Potential


Take a look at the most recent fire potential forecast put out by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC). So far this summer, activity has remained at "normal" as predicted. Now, NIFC reports that across the state of Idaho, we can expect "normal" wildfire potential for August. However, our neighbors in Oregon, Washington and Nevada are expecting "above normal" fire potential which could mean smoke being transported over Idaho.

Be proactive! If you are a member of a sensitive group (elderly, children, pregnant people, those with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions), now's the time to click over to our "Smoke and Health" page, check out some links if you haven't already and contact your healthcare provider to work out a plan for when the smoke hits.
