COEUR d’ALENE — Lighting from a storm early Tuesday morning ignited two small fires that burned less than an acre, and fire officials are concerned more storms may be on the way.

According to Shane O’Shea, assistant fire warden for the Idaho Department of Lands, there were eight lightning strikes from the storm that blew through Kootenai County Tuesday morning.

“Only two of those materialized as fires,” he said, adding one was located in the Chilco area and the other was on U.S Forest Service land near Nunn Road.
