BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — The Goldrun fire just north of Ola, Idaho, continues to grow in size, spurred on by soaring temperatures and gusty winds.
The Idaho Department of Lands reported Wednesday the fire had grown exponentially from 50 to over 400 acres and was an estimated 850 acres as of Thursday morning. The Idaho Department of Lands now has the fire classified as human-caused.
According to the Idaho Department of Lands, the fire is burning in grass and timber. The sudden growth east threatens High Valley summer cabins, ranches and homes. No evacuations have been ordered yet, at the time of this publication.
Idaho Department of Lands reports that a Great Basin Type 3 Incident Management Team has been ordered due to the chance that the fire will continue to grow. That will increase the number of personnel from 80 to 150 as they take over management.
