Idaho Fire Info
by @zebpalmer

I was the first person to put a Smokey Bear fire danger sign on the internet. I helped set the standard for fire online information in the early days of the internet in the late 90s early 2000s. I still enjoy it, but I left the USFS a long time ago.

This account focuses on Initial Attack in Central Idaho as well as major fires all across Idaho.

Make sure you're following my main account @zebpalmer

This fire account won't see much love in the near future as I'm just juggling too many social media accounts on too many platforms. Especially now that I've started a new site/newsletter for my fire content I don't feel like I need to separate an occasional fire post from my main account here.

I will reevaluate at the end of the season.

I mapped 57 of the New Fires that started Monday in Idaho, along with all their friends in Washington, Oregon, and Montana. #IdahoFire #WildlandFire

I planned on dropping in this afternoon for an update on all the large incidents, but then storms rolled through, and I've been caught up watching an outbreak of new fires– so here's a quick update on that. 58 New Fires (and counting)...

If you are interested in Idaho wildland fire and want my content more reliably (looking at you threads...) and in a longer newsletter form, hit the link and sign up. It's free and ad-free.

This is an experiment based on comments here and on other social media platforms in the last couple of years.

Obviously, the site is a mess at the moment, but I'll work on it eventually.

I'm 99% sure that I'll be starting an Idaho fire newsletter (e.g. substack or ghost). Juggling all my thoughts to multiple socials, and trying to cram longer form content to short posts is pretty limiting. It worked on Twitter back in the day, but not working well with our current options.
At a funeral and spending time with family all day today, I'll check in on things later tonight.
The #CowValleyFire never went to bed last night… extremely rare in our region to see a fire rage all night long hot enough to be visible from the GOES-West satellite fire temperature view. Here’s the 4am look, this fire is the only fire in the whole western US that didn’t bed down.
