SALMON, Idaho (CBS2) — The Hayden Fire spread to 24,498 acres, and containment remains at 84%.
According to a recent news release, smoke was visible on the Hayden Fire yesterday, with the majority of remaining fire activity on the west side of the fire where fire managers are utilizing natural rock features to hold the fire in place.
Dry air, warmer temperatures nearing 90 degrees in the valley and increasing winds are anticipated throughout the week. These conditions may result in increased smoke visible near the fire.
Crews are working closely with Salmon-Challis National Forest and Bureau of Land Management resource advisors to finalize suppression repair efforts to restore roads and return public lands to their most natural state.
The Great Basin Incident Management Team 4 will transition control of the fire to local leadership and resources on Wednesday. Firefighters will continue to patrol and secure the fire area for any new fire activity.
