Goat Rock Complex update – Sept. 8, 2015
All fire restrictions lifted, trail and area closures remain in effect
by Kootenai National Forest
September 9, 2015
Today (Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015), all fire restrictions in Lincoln and Sanders counties were lifted, however, trail and area closures remain in effect. Please visit the Kootenai National Forest web site for a listing of all closures in the area.

Starting Wednesday, September 9th, the Goat Rock Complex will also be managing the Government, Sawtooth and Napoleon fires along Highway 56.

The fire prevention sprinklers, hose and pumps were removed from around the historic Bull River Guard Station. Firefighters also worked to remove brush and slash piles along the fuel break near Highway 56. Crews continued working alongside heavy equipment to enhance contingency lines on the east side of the Klatawa fire.

Today’s weather was predominated by fog, cloud cover and cooler temperatures. This cooler weather continues to limit fire growth but heavy fuels within the fire perimeter will remain smoldering and could show smoke in the coming days. Expect to see a trend in higher temperatures and drier conditions as we move towards the weekend.
