Fires Sweep Bonner County Prompt Warnings of Season
Fire marshal Willis Jordan warned Bonner County faces a harsh fire season as multiple blazes burned Thursday. The first 0.2 acre yard fire near Sagle started by an electric fence sparked delays for firefighters. A second blaze near Caribou Creek and Selkirk Ridge may have sparked by last week’s lightning. A third fire on Bonnet Top Mountain caused little damage while moss and rock lichens smoked. A pasture fire near the Gooby Road dog pound was blamed on a passing train. A Volkswagen fire at Garfield Bay destroyed the car and threatened a nearby garage before being contained.
