Three homes and one outbuilding have been destroyed by the Lolo 2 Fire burn near Weippe, according to Clearwater County Sheriff Chris Goetz.

Six additional houses on Lolo Creek Rd. are being evacuated. A pre-evacuation notice has been issued to residents on Three Mile Rd, Goetz said.

The fire has now crossed Lolo Creek and gone up the canyon to the top on the Idaho County side. It has also spread downstream to the 2013 Incendiary Fire area. It is expected to grow Friday afternoon with the predicted 50 mile per hour wind. Additional resources are arriving on scene and a camp has been set up in Fraser Park on State Highway 11 near Weippe he added.

Three Mile and Lolo Creek roads are closed.

The Lolo 2 Fire was sparked by a lightning storm Monday.
