The Boise County Sheriff's Office says a wildfire near milepost 81 on Highway 55 has burned through 75 acres.
The Idaho Department of Lands and U.S. Forest Service are on the scene and are working to order additional resources.
Highway 55 has been reduced to one lane with a pilot car to guide neighbors through the area, according the Idaho Transportation Department. The sheriff’s office asks anyone traveling through the area to use caution as fire crews are actively working along Highway 55 and Banks-Lowman Road toward Garden Valley. They say drivers should slow down, remain alert, and give any workers plenty of room.
This is a developing situation; we’ll update this story as we learn more.
