The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and fire crews from Boise, Kuna, Meridian and Eagle are battling the "Hubby Fire" located near the intersection of 10 Mile Creek and Hubbard Road, south of the Boise Airport.

According to the Ada County Sheriff's Office, there are around 20 units on scene and the fire is now moving away from structures. It is estimated between 200 and 400 acres.
