Nettleton Gulch Fire Update

June 30, 2025, 6:00 p.m. PT

(Coeur d’Alene) – The Nettleton Gulch Fire was held at 26 acres today. There are no evacuations or structures at risk. Crews have nearly completed hand lines around the fire and are installing hose lays. The fire is burning through steep terrain in timber fuels. Safety remains a top priority for the crews, with an abundance of snags on site, as well as the possibility of rolling logs and falling rocks.

There are five engines working the fire, two water tenders, three 20-person hand crews, one hot-shot crew, three helicopters, and four water scoopers have been assisting crews with water drops throughout the day. Additional resources have been ordered and should arrive tomorrow.

Our priority is public and firefighter safety. A Temporary Flight Restriction is in place and remains in effect over the Canfield Mountain area. Unauthorized drone and aircraft pose a serious hazard to firefighting and law enforcement activities. If you fly, we can’t. For firefighter safety we also ask the public to remain clear of the Canfield Mountain area.

The Nettleton Gulch fire was reported on June 29, 2025, at approximately 1:20 p.m. near the popular recreation area, Canfield Mountain, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. All wildfires under IDL protection are investigated.

There is a law enforcement incident investigation happening at the fire’s location. All questions regarding the law enforcement investigation should be directed to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department. Their contact is Lt. Mark Ellis, PIO cell: 208-758-1045, email: sopio@kcgov.us.

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
