The Boise Fire is an actively burning wildfire in the Six Rivers National Forest. It began on August 9, and has burned across 12,842 acres of land as of August 22.

Progression

The fire started on August 9, and by August 12 had grown to 1,621 acres and 27 personnel were assigned to the fire, including 7 helicopters. Crews worked to construct containment lines along the Le Perron Flat and Orleans Look out Road. On August 13, crews began to prioritize the protection of structures along Le Perron Flat, and a dozerline was erected. By August 14, evacuation orders were given out for residents near the fire in Humboldt and Siskiyou counties.

On August 15, fire lines were improved, and priorities of the fire crews shifted from construction of fire lines to keeping the footprint size minimal. By August 16, it was determined to have burned 12,842 acres of land, its current maximum size, and on August 17 crews worked to improve fire and dozer lines along the Orleans, Pearch Creek and Short Ranch areas. By August 19, priorities again shifted to containment along the Trinity Alps Wilderness.
