Slow fire year so far for IDL
'Not over yet'


   It's been a slow fire year for Idaho Department of Lands this season.
   "Real quiet," said Dave Summers, fire warden for the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) Maggie Creek Fire Protection District in Kamiah.
   For the lands under IDL protection, a typical fire season on average is 10,000 to 15,000 acres. Last year the state saw around 450 to 500 acres. This year so far? 81 acres as of last Thursday, Aug. 19.
   "So it's been a very, very quiet fire season," he said, "but obviously it's not over yet."
