Tartar Fire Surges Past 100K Acres | Boise News
Description
The Tartar Fire has exploded to over 100,000 acres in just days, with only 11% contained and 560 firefighters battling flames that surged 80,000 acres overnight—mainly west toward Brownlee and south near Eaton Road. A dangerous hotspot near Manns Creek Reservoir fuels the urgency, triggering mandatory evacuations for Upper Jenkins Creek Road, Chicken Creek, and Forest Service lands around Hitt and Sturgill mountains. Neighboring communities are under “Set” and “Ready” alerts, urging residents to prep evacuation kits. The Red Cross is staging a shelter at Vendome Community Center in Weiser. Critical road closures are in place—check Payette National Forest Alerts and Idaho Public Input for updates as crews race to stop the blaze’s relentless spread.
