POCATELLO -- Around 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, a wildfire was reported at the mouth of Blackrock Canyon south of Pocatello. The Box Canyon Fire has burned 21 acres. The closest structures were about a quarter mile from the fire; no evacuations were necessary. Fire managers anticipate full containment of the fire by 6 PM this evening.
Idaho Falls District Bureau of Land Management (BLM) resources were on scene moments after the fire was reported and soon joined by resources from the Caribou-Targhee National Forest and Pocatello Valley Fire Department. Air tankers made multiple retardant drops on the incident, and a helicopter dropped water on the fire as well.
Approximately 60 total personnel have been assigned to the fire, including: 6 fire engines, 1 dozer, 1 water tender, and 1 handcrew. Resources will remain on scene throughout the evening to continue mopping up hotspots and monitoring the fire area.
