JULIAETTA, Idaho – The Idaho Department of Lands has released new information on the status of the Gwen Fire and the new plans to hopefully begin containment.
The Gwen Fire has burned 28,805 acres and the Idaho Department of Lands say they plan secure a fire perimeter line today.
A dozer line was completed on the northern side of the fire which will aid the firefighters in keeping it contained and staying west of Pine Creek.
Containment is slowly moving and remains at 0% but IDOL says good progress has been made.
A community meeting will be held tonight at 6 p.m. at the Lapwai Elementary School at 170 Agency Road.
Community members are encouraged to attend and ask questions or bring up any concerns.
