~ Idaho Falls Firefighters responded to an early morning residential fire on E 25th Street today, after receiving a call at approximately 5:25 a.m. The Idaho Falls Fire Department arrived on the scene to find a house engulfed in flames, with smoke and fire coming from the garage.
According to witnesses, neighbors and a delivery person had noticed the fire and quickly alerted the family inside. They were able to help them evacuate the residence, with one neighbor even assisting a child out of the basement. The firefighters of Engine 4 immediately began attacking the fire in the garage upon arrival.
