Fire grew from 89,859 acres to 99,144 acres this afternoon as a result of unstable air over the fire with the inversion finally lifting. Very impressive column.

BOISE -- A black bear cub injured in the Mustang Fire has a new home. He was transferred to the Idaho Humane Society in Boise Thursday night.

Doctor Jeff Rosenthal is now taking care of "Boo Boo." He was found hiding up a tree, nursing 2nd-degree burns on all his feet.
