🔊 Listen · narrated by Aiden

The Turner Fire evacuation status has been downgraded to 'Set' by the Boundary County Sheriff's Office, according to updated InciWeb records. The fire, reported July 15 near Copeland, Idaho, grew rapidly due to wind events but has stabilized enough for the sheriff's office to adjust the alert level.

The fire remains under active management by Northern Rockies Complex Incident Management Team #1, which assumed command July 17. A full suppression strategy continues using direct and indirect tactics to protect critical values. The fire's location is approximately 5 miles south of Copeland, Idaho, with coordinates provided in the incident report.

Residents in the affected area should monitor official channels for further updates. The Boundary County Sheriff's Office and Idaho Panhandle National Forests are the primary sources for real-time information on the Turner Fire.
