KAMIAH, Idaho – Lt. Robert of Kamiah Fire Rescue returned to duty after a hospital visit for a CT scan and wrist X-ray. He was struck by a rolling rock while battling the Rock Fire.
KFR Chief Billy shared photos that upon his return, he was welcomed with a group hug from fellow KFR members.
The fire, located near Highway 12, has created hazardous conditions with steep terrain and areas of uncontrolled fire line.
Kamiah Fire Rescue members spent eight hours fighting the blaze alongside the Idaho Department of Lands. Highway 162 is open to one lane, but the fire will take several more days to contain.
