Idaho Wildfire Near Murphy Contained

Crews in Owyhee County spent Monday mopping up the damage from a fast-moving wildfire.

The Wilson Creek Fire burned about 150 acres eight miles northwest of Murphy.

On Monday, crews told Today's Channel 6 News the fire was controlled and contained.

More than 100 firefighters attacked the blaze using air tankers, engines and bulldozers.

Investigators do not know how it started.

They do say rain played a big role in getting it under control.
