BLM Lifts Tartar Fire Temporary Closure
BOISE, Idaho—The Bureau of Land Management Four Rivers Field Office is lifting the closure order of BLM-administered lands that was in place due to the Tartar Fire. This closure is no longer necessary due to the lack of fire progression.
The closure area included the Snake River as a western and southern boundary below Weiser, ID, following the Weiser River Road to the east and then north to US-95 and Cambridge, ID, with Hwy 71 and the Payette National Forest as the northern boundary headed west back to the Snake River. With the closure lifting, this area is reopened as of 11:59 p.m., Aug. 14, 2026.
