COEUR d’ALENE — The recent shift back to warmer and drier conditions is causing several area fires to increase in activity, resulting in visible smoke and minor fire spread.
On the Grizzly Complex, located in the North Fork Coeur d’Alene River drainage, increased fire spread has resulted in additional emergency trail and road closures in order to provide for public safety, Idaho Panhandle National Forest said in a press release.
Effective immediately, an emergency closure has been issued for Forest Road 804, also known as Miners Creek Road. Also, Forest Trail 81, near the Little Guard Lookout Tower has been closed due to fire activity.
