Bedrock Fire almost at full containment

The Bedrock Fire burning near Lenore between Lewiston and Orofino is now at about 11,200 acres and is 90% contained.

Crews will patrol the fire and mop up hot spots, focusing efforts on the southern edge of the boundary to protect structures from residual heat and on the head areas of Bedrock Creek and Louse Creek.  Work to rehabilitate areas disturbed by firefighting activities will continue. 

Additionally, resources used to attack the fire will systematically be demobilized, shrinking the size of the suppression organization. Due to the high threat of wildfire danger in northern Idaho, local land management agencies implemented Stage II Fire Restrictions on all lands within the Grangeville Fire Restriction Area. The cause of the blaze is under investigation. (IDL)
