BLM crews fight Charcoal Fire at Lucky Peak

The 60-plus acre fire is burning across from Barclay Bay in an area inaccessible by road.

BOISE - The Bureau of Land Management said multiple resources were being used to fight a brush fire at Lucky Peak Wednesday evening.

The Charcoal Fire threw up a column of smoke visible for miles and was burning about 60-80 acres across from the Barclay Bay area as of 9:30 p.m., the BLM said.

BLM Fire Information Officer Jared Jablonski said the fire was burning in an area inaccessible by road, so the agency was using air resources to attack the fire. The Ada County Sheriff's Office was also assisting with boats.

The BLM said crews were making good progress on the fire Wednesday night. Crews estimate the fire will be contained by noon Thursday, and controlled by 8 p.m.
