Damage Estimated at $200,000 After House Fire in Lewiston
Firefighters responded to a structure fire at 3314 9th Street in Lewiston on Saturday evening. According to the Lewiston Fire Department, at 6:36 p.m., a caller reported to dispatchers that the fire was in the kitchen and all occupants were out of the building. First arriving crews found heavy fire coming from the carport area. Initial actions were taken to knockdown the fire and protect the structure next door. Crews then entered the structure and attacked the seat of the fire on the main floor. The fire was knocked down quickly and crews remained on scene for overhaul operations for approximately one hour. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage to the home is estimated at approximately $200,000. No injuries were reported.

Two teens saved during water rescue in Middleton
Two teens fell into a waterway and were swept away by the strong current around 7:30 Friday night in Middleton. At approximately 7:30 p.m., first responders received a call about a person falling into the waterway and being taken away by the current. Deputy Fire Chief Victor Islas said, "At that time they let us know there was an additional person. So we had two people in the water." Deputy Chief Islas told me that they were able to locate the victims and pull them ashore. I was told they were able to walk out on their own after medics checked for injuries. I also can confirm that because they came back to gather their belongings they left behind. They were not able to speak on camera, but they did say they were thankful they were saved.

Kootenai County resumes Fuel Reduction Project to help reduce wildfires
The Kootenai Fuel Reduction Project on the 174 acres of Idaho Panhandle National Forests will resume next week. The project aims to reduce wildfire danger by thinning excess wood on the ground, in the forest, or in the canopy that can increase fire severity. The U.S. Forest Service also plans to issue a temporary closure on recreational shooting in the immediate area beginning Friday, April 12, to avoid potentially imminent harm caused by shooting in the direction of contractors. This extends to the popular Hayden Creek Forest Service Road 437 shooting pit. Fuel treatments in this area will begin with non-commercial thinning, pruning, and piling, followed by pile burning. Work is expected to last from two to four weeks. All associated closures will be lifted as soon as work is finished.

Fort Hall Fire Department acquires new fire trucks
PHOTOS: The Fort Hall Fire Department has recently acquired four new fire trucks to provide better emergency services to the community. Fire Chief Eric King of the Fort Hall Fire Department said they have 14 emergency vehicles. Many of them have different capabilities. The new fire trucks are a 100-foot ladder truck, a heavy rescue truck and two water tenders. King said the department’s old trucks were becoming too expensive to maintain. He said the old ladder truck that they replaced was particularly expensive to take care of. “Hopefully it will decrease the maintenance bill for what we have,” he said about acquiring the new fire trucks. King said the new heavy rescue truck is a better truck for their needs. It is larger and is able to fit more people than the Fire Department’s previous rescue vehicle.
