Idaho Wildfire Awareness Month (May) will be rolling out a couple different fire education campaign inlcuding #IdahoOLS and #SteppeUpIdaho. Both of these campaigns educate the public against the threat of human-caused fires to the wildlands but the #SteppeUpIdaho concentrates on the threat to wildfires within the SageSteppe ecosystem. This ecosystem is critical habitat for the Greater Sage Grouse and a multitude of other species but due to the increase of wildland fires a majority of it is overtaken by cheatgrass or other noxious weeds after a wildfires passes. We are asking the public to "Steppe Up" and help with unwanted human-caused fires by being vigilant when out recreating on Idaho lands. More to come!
This is an interagency website developed by federal and state agencies in Idaho to provide timely and accurate information for wildland fires, fire restrictions, prevention and education across the state. Our aim is to provide one website where the best available information and links related to fire can be accessed.
