McCALL, Idaho (CBS2) — A road east of McCall is closed due to a forest fire.
The Idaho Department of Lands said Friday that it's urging folks to avoid the Copeland Fire area while firefighters fight the fire. It's roughly 90 acres in size.
Boulder Lake Road is closed and the IDL is asking folks to not access the area from Potter Lane, Paddy Flat Road or any other public or private route "as this creates a safety issue for both the public and our firefighters."
Resources engaged in active suppression actions include multiple helicopters, three engines, two dozers, and 140 firefighters including two hotshot crews. There is a local Type 3 Incident Management Team on the fire.
Cooler temperatures and higher relative humidity made for moderate fire activity overnight and has allowed firefighters to gain ground, but a warming trend is forecasted through the weekend.
The road closure can be seen below:
