BONNERS FERRY — Crews continue to do well in their fight against the Upper Smith Fire despite a brief excursion by the fire across containment lines early Wednesday morning, Northern Rockies Team 1 officials said Wednesday afternoon.

A "finger" of the fire on Upper Smith backed down off the knob on the eastern flank and made it across the team's primary control line early Wednesday morning.
