ADAMS COUNTY, Idaho — A brush fire burning near Old Highway 95 and Mesa prompted GO NOW evacuations, road closures and a power outage on Thursday in Adams County.
The Adams County Sheriff's Office ordered people in the Mesa, Kilborn, Highland and Whitman areas to leave immediately.
Mesa Lane and Kilborn Lane have been closed, and officials are asking people to stay out of the area while firefighters work.
