Boise’s fire risk runs from the sagebrush and cheatgrass of the Foothills and surrounding rangeland — which carry fast, wind-driven fires right to the edge of neighborhoods — up into the timbered Boise National Forest. Invasive grasses have made range fires larger and more frequent.
The 2016 Table Rock Fire burned into the Boise Foothills above downtown, destroying a home and prompting evacuations; large rangeland fires across the Snake River Plain threaten the Treasure Valley most summers.

Is this an official Boise emergency map?
No. FireRisk is an awareness tool built on official NIFC and NWS data — it complements but never replaces Boise’s official alerts, local fire authorities, and 911.
Awareness only — built on official NIFC (fires) and NWS (fire weather) data, which can lag real conditions. For Boise evacuation orders follow Boise Fire Department, Watch Duty, and call 911 in an emergency.
