The saying is, Where there s smoke, there s fire. Well, we ve got a lot of smoke in the Bitterroot Valley and Missoula, so there must be a lot of fire. And there is - in Idaho and Montana. The Bitterroot Valley is being smothered by smoke from the Dixie Fire, south of Grangeville, Idaho. It has grown to over 17,198 acres as of Tuesday morning, and the nearby Jumbo Fire is at about 1,000 acres. The Dixie Fire has been growing in all directions, according to the Nez Perce-Clearwater Forest officials. Idaho firefighters are also fighting six huge fires south of Lewiston, Idaho, including the 158,000 acre Snake River Complex. Add that acreage to the other five blazes and you increase the size to over 250,000 acres. The prevailing winds are bringing that smoke our way.
