It's called the "Power Line Fire" because the fire started pretty much on the Power County boundary line. There are not, as far as I know, any high-voltage lines or buried gas pipelines up there. For one thing, the Bannock Range (where the fire is) goes up to 9,300 feet. For another, it's pretty rough country there (pull the map down to move north along I-15, then west of Pocatello).

I'm concerned about what the fire might do to the "industrial containment ponds" at the north end of the range. That's waste from phosphate mining and includes stuff that can burst into flame on exposure to air. Not at all cool!

Here's the fire map as of about noon today.
