Blaine County Fire District Merges | Boise News

Two major Idaho fire districts are officially merging—Ketchum and BC South Fire Protection District—after running together as Blaine County Fire & Rescue since July. The final approval comes September 1, with official status set to take effect in 30 days unless challenged by a petition signed by at least 25% of eligible voters. Chief Kevan Crawley calls it a historic moment, praising the unified training and seamless operations already underway across Ketchum, Hailey, and BC South. Services remain uninterrupted during the transition window, but November’s upcoming vote could bring Hailey Fire Department into the fold too—making this a pivotal time for emergency services in the region.
