Fire crews in southwest Idaho have already responded to the first wildfire of the 2008 season. Bureau of Land Management firefighters battled a 30-acre grass and brush fire four miles south of the Swan Falls dam Sunday. Investigators say the blaze was caused by a campfire.

BLM officials say despite a steady dose of winter snows, many rangeland areas are currently very dry. Light spring rains and dead vegetation from last year have created dry conditions on land the agency manages across southwest Idaho. Agency officials are urging campers to use caution and care with campfires under the current conditions.
