IDAHO — The Bench Lake fire that closed the area around Redfish Lake grew to 150 acres by Saturday evening, up from 66 the day before. “We are up at our family cabin at Fisher Creek and watched the fire grow immensely (Saturday)–very scary,” said Blaine County Commissioner Muffy Davis. Firefighters said they encountered active fire behavior with single trees and groups of trees torching. Numerous structures are threatened. The fire is zero percent contained. Local Type 3 Incident commander Chris Belliston, whose team operated from the Stanley Ranger Station, said firefighters were able to slow fire movement “considerably” on Friday thanks to water drops from scoopers. Bench Lake and a rocky outcrop are holding the fire in check on the west side. Firefighters had to contend with increased fire activity from increased winds on Saturday, however.
