Good morning, Pocatello.

On Saturday, the 65th annual Chubbuck Days brought the community together with a parade featuring local businesses (mascots, themed floats, in-line skating, and more) and a festival at Cotant Park with vendors, food trucks, and a police dunk tank benefiting the DARE program.

Fort Hall firefighters quickly contained a brush fire Friday evening west of Chubbuck before it reached a propane tank.

Firefighters have held the McPherson Fire east of Grace nearly at the same size since it ignited Friday evening & officials credit the sheltering effect of nearby maple trees and the team’s timely response for keeping the blaze manageable.

Firefighters are battling a 225-acre wildfire three miles east of Grace that started Friday evening on private land and spread onto federal property.

They aim to contain the blaze today at 6 p.m. and urge the public to avoid the area + prepare for gusty winds under Red Flag conditions.

Bannock County Veteran Services will host the Mission 3E Veterans Summit on Saturday, Aug.

15 at The Village (345 N. 5th Ave) for service members, veterans, and families transitioning to civilian life, offering tactical workshops, career support, and local food trucks with free admission and required pre-registration.
