TWIN FALLS -- Firefighters from the Twin Falls region responded to three lightning-caused blazes that have torched more than a square mile in the southern Idaho.
Bureau of Land Management fire officials say gusty winds -- they could reach 70 miles per hour -- could complicate efforts to combat these fires burning in remote country.
The 80-acre Buhl Corral Fire started around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday about seven miles West of Hollister, followed a half-hour later by the larger, 400-acre Sailor Creek Fire on the U.S. Air Force bombing range south of Mountain Home.
Then, at 4:30 p.m., the electrical storm ignited another fire east of the Sailor Creek Bombing Range that quickly grew to 400 acres.
