The Ready-Set-Go status restrictions for the Sunset fire have all been lifted. At this time, the fire is 75% contained and several Crews will continue to secure and mop up fire lines along the entire fire perimeter.
The established checkpoints will continue to be manned by law enforcement personnel, in order to restrict non-residents from entering the previously evacuated areas. If you are not a resident of the area, we ask that you stay clear while crews work.
Burning restrictions are still in place. By order of Fire Chief Armstrong, “All Open Burning” in the fire affected areas of Sagle shall be extinguished, to include campfires, outdoor burning of yard waste, open flames devices and charcoal fires.
Sheriff Wheeler personally wants to thank the Northern Rockies Complex Incident Management Team 5, the Hot Shot Crews, and every local firefighter and support staff who contributed to the successful management of this fire. Bonner County will be forever indebted to you!
