Wildfires are unpredictable and difficult to manage, but the outlook for the fire season so far looks normal through the fall.

The National Forest Service says the fire outlook for the country shows that southern Idaho, including Ada and Canyon counties, is below normal fire risk for June. In July, that will change to normal risk, which is expected to continue through September.

This does not, however, mean there will be little to no fires in the West.

Fire management officer, Noel Livingston tells the Idaho Press, higher-elevation forest fires can be expected later in the season, but he’s not expecting any unusually large fires.

Snowfall and a colder, wetter spring is keeping risk low right now.

One result of the wet spring and winter is more grass growth, which creates fuel in lower elevation areas across the West.
