New fire reported near Bayview

A new fire was reported near Bayview, Idaho, tonight very close to where the Cape Horn fire burned more than a thousand acres and destroyed half a dozen homes last month. The Three Sisters fire is about 50 acres and is burning just northwest of the Cape Horn fire boundary, said Gary Weber of the Idaho Department of Lands. Several aircraft dumped water on the fire before nightfall. No homes are threatened. Weber said the fire appears to be heading toward Lake Pend Oreille and the area previously burned in the Cape Horn fire. “We’ll have people out there all night,” he said.
