BOISE, Idaho Lighting storms have led to several fires in North and North-Central Idaho, and the Idaho Dept. of Lands says interference from a drone forced a stoppage of the aerial attack against a fire near Kamiah, putting homes at risk.
The IDL had little information about that fire, but reminds everyone to not use drones anywhere near wildland fires.
Another fire, the Mission Flats Fire, was visible from Interstate 90.
That fire has burned about 20 acres near the historic Cataldo Mission, but is not threatening the mission or any other structures. The IDL says the fire is located west of the boat ramp, and has, so far, stayed on one side of I-90 as well as one side of the Coeur d Alene River. Multiple aircraft, equipment and personnel are fighting the fire.
