Crews contain wind-driven brush fire near Parma

Strong winds caused low visibility and prompted road closures in the area.

BOISE, Idaho — Fire crews have contained a wind-driven brush fire that started late Monday afternoon north of Parma.

The fire was held to about 25 acres in size. Crews planned to remain on scene throughout the night to monitor the burn area and make sure there are no flare-ups.

Officials said one structure sustained minor damage.

There were no evacuations, but several roads in the area were shut down while crews battled the flames.

In a Facebook post, the Parma Police Department urged all drivers to avoid the area of Highway 20/26 and Apple Valley Road due to low visibility caused by high wind speeds.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Check back for updates.
