After a week of inactivity, someone started another small ground fire along the northeast border of Dalton Gardens near Hayden. On Tuesday afternoon, firefighters from Northern Lakes Fire District and Kootenai County Fire and Rescue responded to a human-caused fire, bringing the total number of fires to nine since June 27. Northern Lakes spokesman Jim Lyon told The Press that the most recent fire occurred on top of a previous blaze in the area where 15th Street turns into Lookout Drive. "It didn't just burn the same area either, it enlarged the previously burned area," Lyon said. Like the previous fires, Tuesday's flames happened alongside the roadway. However, Lyon said the firefighters were paged to the scene around 1:15 p.m., which is hours earlier than last week's fires were reported/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
