New #Fire in the head of Twin Creek near lost trail on the Salmon-Challis. It's just outside the mustang fire perimeter. It's 2-3 single tree fires right on the ID-MT border, almost certainly due to yesterday's storm.

Based on what I'm seeing, this should be wrapped up by initial attack. #IDwx #IDfire #MTfire
