YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Henry’s Creek Fire (formerly referred to as the Blackhawk Estates Fire) continues to burn east of Idaho Falls and Ammon. Increased temperatures and high winds are driving the fire northeast towards Ozone Road. The fire is estimated to be at least 1,600 acres in size, but that number will likely be exceeded when more accurate GPS mapping is available.
Bonneville County has issued evacuation notices to individuals living in the Sunnyside/Bone area down to Kepps Crossing area. The County has also asked that individuals stay away from the area and off Sunnyside and Bone Road so firefighting efforts are not impeded. Road blocks are currently in place and East Sunnyside from Crown Cresent Drive is closed.
Numerous resources are fighting the blaze including federal, county and city engines. Currently, Eastern Idaho Interagency Fire Center has four dozers, six engines, one handcrew and several smoke jumpers assisting with firefighting efforts. Several air resources were on scene this morning but were later grounded this afternoon due to high winds.
