Fire restrictions lifted

Agencies responsible for managing lands and providing wildland fire protection in the Coeur d’Alene dispatch area have lifted fire restrictions for the entire area. With the cooler temperatures and recent rainfall, conditions no longer warrant extreme fire danger; however, they are still reminding the public to be careful with their fires.

“Fire managers would like to thank everyone for their patience during fire restrictions and for their help preventing wildfires,” said a joint news release from the Bureau of Land Management, Coeur d’Alene Tribe and Kootenai Tribe fire management offices, Idaho Department of Lands, Idaho Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Forest Service.
