The Idaho Falls Fire Department responded to a structure fire at the 2000 block of North 31st East in Bonneville County Monday, 7/22.
Around 2:59 a.m., a caller told 911 that something was on fire inside a home. The person was attempting to put out the fire while a dispatcher tried to get the person to go outside. Firefighters arrived and saw smoke showing from the exterior of the single-wide manufactured home with several makeshift additions. It was still reported that one person was inside of the house.
An attack line was pulled into the home while firefighters conducted an initial search. A person was brought outside while the fire was discovered burning a mattress in the back of the home.
Within minutes of arrival, the fire was put out, and the formerly burning mattress was brought outside.
