🔥Dudley Fire🔥
Idaho Panhandle National Forests
Fire Information 208-557-8813
https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/idipf-dudley-fire
August 30, 2026

Type 3 Team: Incident Commander Jerrod Scheffelmaier
Location: 5 Miles north of Wallace, ID
Start Date: 08/26/2026
Cause: Natural - Lightning
Size: 557 Acres
Containment: 0%
Resources: 201 personnel; 6 engines; 7 hand crews; 2 dozers; 1 masticator; 2 water tender; 2 Type 1 helicopters, 1 Excavator, 4 Structure Protection Modules

Key Message: Residents in the Blackcloud area, from Dobson Pass to Ferguson, are in the READY evacuation status. Be prepared to evacuate if conditions change. Dobson Pass is closed.

Current Status: The fire is now 557 acres. The increase is due to trees torching and producing spot fires to the north, as well as strategic burnout operations conducted by firefighters. These operations removed fuels and strengthened firelines to limit fire spread. The fire remains west of Beaver Creek/Dobson Pass Road (Forest Service Road 456) and is holding in the Ferguson Creek drainage. The fire remains north of Forest Service Road 424.

Additional crews, equipment, and a structure protection group have been brought in to support containment efforts. Structure protection resources are assessing structures in the Carbon Center, Ferguson, and Upper Nine Mile areas.

Crews continue to construct handlines and dozer lines, improve roads, and build fuel breaks. Helicopters and scoopers will continue water drops, while fixed-wing aircraft will provide retardant to slow fire spread and support ground operations.

Weather and Fire Behavior: Sunday will be partly sunny with a chance of morning showers. Temperatures will reach the mid-60s to lower 70s, with west winds and afternoon gusts up to 20 mph. Winds will decrease Sunday evening. There is a 5% chance of lightning.

Closures and Special Messages: Temporary Flight Restriction: A TFR is in effect over the Dudley Fire. If you fly, we can't.

Evacuation Status: READY status is in effect for the Blackcloud area, from Dobson Pass to Ferguson. Emergency Notifications: https://signup.hyper-reach.com/hyper_reach/sign_up_page_2/?id=93602&utm_source=chatgpt.com
Road Closure: Beaver Creek Road is closed from Delta through Dobson Pass and south to the Nine-Mile Junction.

Fire Restrictions: Stage 1 Fire Restrictions are in effect in Kootenai, Shoshone, and Benewah counties until further notice. There are no forest closures at this time.

🚨Safety Alert-Drone Incursion🚨

Moments ago, a drone incursion occurred on the Dudley Fire causing air operations to shut down during an active burning period when aviation support is critical. Drone incursions are not only illegal but also create the potential for fatal consequences.

Law enforcement support was requested, and aircraft can only resume operations when the air space is cleared.

There is a Temporary Flight Restriction over the Dudley Fire area. Violating a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) can result in civil fines up to $75,000 per violation, criminal fines up to $100,000, and up to one year in federal prison.

Avoid all wildfire areas, as well as flight paths and any airspace meant for crewed aircraft. If you fly, we can't.

08/29/2026

NEVER fly a drone in the area of a fire. They will ground the air support for the fire.
