Last Night's Gust Front!

Wind-whipped fire burns 18 homes in Boise

Fire officials say a wildfire that started in a field of sagebrush and spread quickly up a ridge burned at least 18 homes in a Boise neighborhood.

The fire ignited at about 7 p.m. Monday and spread quickly through the southeast neighborhood behind wind gusts that topped 30 miles per hour.

Boise Fire Chief Dennis Doan says no one was injured. Crews are still trying to figure out how the blaze began.

Fire officials say more than 100 people were evacuated. Officials say nine homes were destroyed and another nine damaged by flames.

The location and intensity of the fire triggered a general fire alarm, meaning every Boise firefighter was called to help. Fire crews from Meridian, Kuna and North Ada County were also called in.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management also sent four engines and about 20 firefighters to the scene.

Resident Michael Robinson told KTVB-TV that he and his wife and dog fled their home immediately after the fire began creeping up the ridge.

Robinson says his home and those next to him burned so quickly that it seemed like they were - quote - "full of gas."
