I was coming back to Garden Valley from Boise on Hwy 55, came around one corner to find 100 yards of brush fire. Two fellows were trying to stomp it out, but no way, too steep, and away it went. Now is 2k acres and power has been out since 2am, 5 power poles burned. Estimated 1030pm service restored. I have the generator going. Fire caused by an overloaded trailer, tire blew and rim/pavement caused sparks and fire. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes. Not only the cost of the fire but businesses out lots w/o customers and ruined food.
