Crews continue to make progress on the Sand Mountain Fire burning in North Latah County. Fire managers say full containment is only achieved when Idaho Department of Lands standards are met.  100 feet from the fire perimeter must be cold to the touch around the entire fire for full containment.  Firefighters are “cold trailing” the fire checking for heat in the soil with their bare hands.  The Sand Mountain Fire outside Harvard remains at 82% containment at around 1,600 acres. Crews have completed a fire line around the entire perimeter of the Johnson Creek Fire North of Elk River.  That blaze remains at 63% containment at around 1,300 acres.
