Investigators with the Idaho Department of Lands say a structure fire Monday resulted in starting the 116-acre Idler Fire near Moscow.

The blaze, which destroyed one primary residence, is now listed at 67 percent contained.

Fire crews have taken advantage of cooler weather and have installed water delivery equipment, including more than 8,000 feet of hose to reinforce the fire line and mop up toward the interior of the burn.

An incident command post has been set up at the Latah County Fairgrounds in Moscow. There are 80 personnel assigned to the fire. (Idaho Department of Lands)
