Something you probably don’t know…
@BroncoSportsFB head coach Spencer Danielson has a famous brother! His younger brother Ethan is a @BoiseFire firefighter.
They look so much alike, don’t they?

@BLMIdaho crews, along with @BoiseFire and other local agencies, worked hard during the initial attack on the #ValleyFire in Boise's backyard. Firefighters have made good progress so far, with 50% containment. Fighting fires close to our cities and communities takes teamwork 🔥
Boise Fire and BLM are continuing to strengthen and monitor containment lines for the Valley Fire today. Boise residents in the areas marked on the map are still encouraged to be aware of fire activity and be “ready” for additional updates.
Thank you to our community for your continued support and to BLM for their tireless work.
An update from BLM about the Valley Fire at 10:00 am can be found here: facebook.com/share/p/dk2T7hi…
Boise Fire is conducting proactive fire operations at the Valley fire to protect containment lines. We appreciate the concerned calls to dispatch and can share that the fire line people are seeing from Boise is being carefully managed and is part of an intentional effort.
#ValleyFire - Residents in the area of Wild Horse Ln./Table Rock Rd. to Highway 21 and north of Warm Springs should be aware of fire activity in their area. All areas that were previously in “SET” can return to “READY” status.
Based on the expected wind conditions tonight, we will be closely monitoring conditions and strengthening fire lines. We will update the community as needed via Code Red with any updates to the pre-evacuations or evacuation notifications. Stay alert for further notifications.
The fire is estimated at over 4,000 acres, according to NIFC.
