The Bedrock Fire reached 11,205 acres before it was 100% contained Sunday. Over 12 days, members of the community, businesses, local government, and leaders supported the firefighting effort in a variety of ways.
“Residents in Lenore, Cavendish and the surrounding areas welcomed firefighters into the community and were supportive partners in the firefighting effort,” said Idaho Department of Lands Director Dustin Miller. “Rural residents and volunteer fire departments are also often the first to respond and report fire starts, which is critical to our mission to respond as quickly as we can to incidents.”
The Idaho Department of Lands appreciates the efforts of communities of local farmers and private individuals in coordinating with us to use their local knowledge as well as the tractors, discs, dozers, water trucks and personnel to support suppression efforts, especially on the canyon rims. These coordinated efforts made a critical difference.
Thanks goes to the farming communities of:
