SALMON, Idaho (AP) -- More than 200 firefighters battled a lightning-caused wildfire in eastern Idaho on Wednesday, trying to maintain the advantage they gained earlier in the week under some rain and higher humidity.
``We've had some pretty favorable weather,'' Salmon-Challis National Forest spokeswoman Gail Baer said.
The Corn Fire was burning on about 180 acres of dead and downed timber and some grass and shrubs on the north bank of Corn Creek about 37 miles northwest of Salmon.
Water-dropping helicopters were backing up crews on the fire line, and fire bosses believed the blaze, now 10 percent contained, could be fully contained by Friday.
