Forest Service To Set Fire Near Clark Fork

The U.S. Forest Service plans to light a 121-acre fire on Sunday near Clark Fork.

The fire, at the site of the old Buckskin timber sale, will be 32 air miles north of Coeur d’Alene, said a spokeswoman for the Fernan Ranger District. It will be set at 11 a.m. or 1 p.m., depending on the weather. The fire is intended to improve wildlife habitat, reduce wildfire danger and ready the area for replanting. , DataTimes
