Fire Information

Please keep safety a priority

To assist in your hunting, angling and outdoor adventures each late summer and fall, Idaho Fish and Game will be working with the Forest Service, BLM, IDL and other resource agencies and Wildfire Teams to keep you up to date on fire closures.

This resource is not the official fire information resource. It's simply a tool to help Fish and Game customers in decision making.

We are compiling the latest fire activity and closures from InciWeb and making them available as real-time maps and downloads on our website.

As more information becomes available, this page will be updated.
