The Sand Hollow Fire Protection District is praising the multi-agency responses that successfully extinguished three fire starts across Canyon and Payette County on Saturday.
"Yesterday's lightning storms provided opportunity to highlight years of training, partnerships, and cooperation to the test," the department said in a Facebook post.
According to officials, one fire was reported in Middleton near El Paso Road and Oasis Road, another one was located on BLM land west of Sand Hollow, and a third was reported in New Plymouth in the Little Willow Area.
