Winds cause 50-acre fire in Rathdrum

The fire began midday and was quickly heading in a northeasterly direction and swirling because of winds with gusts of more than 40 miles per hour.

There was some fear of it crossing Ramsey but at this time I think Brunner and Ramsey are blocking the fire."  Full story Devin Heilman, CdA Press
