Residents In Pine, Featherville Will Be Able To Return To Homes

InciWeb

Residents who evacuated the towns of Pine and Featherville this week received some good news today: they will be able to return to their homes Sunday at 5 p.m.

People returning to their homes will need to provide proof of residency. The Elmore County sheriff's office says they will be checking proof of residency -- a power bill with your name and address on it -- before letting people back in their homes.

Pine and Featherville were under evacuation notice earlier this week when the Elk Complex fire moved into the area. That blaze is now 40 percent contained, and has consumed 116,914 acres.

Frankie Barnhill was the Senior Producer of Idaho Matters, Boise State Public Radio's daily show and podcast.
