The wildfire scorching Sun Valley, Idaho, has already consumed more than 100,000 acres, and threatened 5,000 homes.

Sun Valley is home to many pricey spreads, including second homes reportedly owned by actors Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis.

    On the Idaho wildfire--Why do they make idiotic statements like "1200 firefighters toiling "tirelessly" ? Excuse me, but these firefighters are wore slap out. It is impossible to spend this many continuous hours on the fire line and not be tired.

      It makes for better hyperbole. The poor guys have to be wore out.
