Warm and breezy conditions recently led to multiple debris and grass fires on private land in north Lincoln County getting out of control.
According to Kootenai National Forest Public Affairs Officer Larona Rebo, there were four fires on the Rexford/Fortine Ranger District last week, including three on April 6 and one on April 11. They ranged in size from half an acre to seven acres.
"All occurred on private land, largely grass fires," Rebo said in an email. "All fires were handled, controlled, returned to the landowner and reported as out the same day they were reported."
