FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

County Line Fire 100% Contained 

(Plummer) - The County Line Fire has reached 100% containment. County Line Road remains closed as Avista works to replace poles and lines. The size of the fire remains at 192 acres and resources assigned to the fire have been
 reduced to 4 engines, 1 water tender, and 2 crews. Some smoke may be seen at interior portions of the fire area for some time and that is to be expected. Avista responded early on in the fire and has worked well with fire managers to begin repairs as soon
 as safely possible. (Photo courtesy of Terry Zufelt, IDL)

Most wildfires are caused by humans. Be part of the solution – learn how!

· Be aware of and follow all fire restrictions

· During closed burn season, before burning debris apply for a free burn permit – it’s the law

· Use campfires safely by staying clear of flammable debris and burning on mineral soil

· Maintain vehicles and OHVs properly – especially their tires - so you don’t spark a fire

· Secure trailer chains so they don’t drag and cause a fire

· Never park over dry grass because hot exhaust systems can start a fire
