Old Greer Fire Update

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

June 27, 2025, 10:30 a.m. PT

(Greer) – Firefighters continue to battle the Old Greer Fire. Two fires have merged into 1 and are ½ mile apart. Retardant drops overnight helped to hold the spread of the 2 fires which remain at 75 acres. The Lewis County Sheriff (https://www.facebook.com/LCSOID) has closed Old Greer Road due to fire activity. There are 5 structures threatened, however there are no evacuations at this time.

There are 50 fire personnel consisting of 3 dozers, 2 water tenders, 6 engines and a helicopter to drop on hot spots. Additional resources have been ordered and are expected to arrive later today.

The Idaho Department of Lands (IDL), together with the U.S. Forest Service, the Nez Perse Tribe, and the Clearwater-Potlatch Timber Protection Association continue to work through steep, rugged terrain to construct containment lines, slow fire spread, and structure protection.

The Old Greer Fire is across the river from Greer, in Lewis County.

The fire was reported Thursday June 25, 2025 at approximately 8:30 p.m. This cause of the fire is under investigation, as IDL investigates all fires in their districts.

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
