With growth of the Consalus Fire holding steady for more than a week, management of the fire is being returned to the Priest Lake Fire District.
"After over a week of the fire staying within its footprint and all the great work accomplished on the line, fire officials have determined that the complexity of the fire has dropped from a Type 3 incident to a Type 4," Northern Rockies Type 3 Incident Management Team officials said in a Monday update.
