**STRUCTURE FIRE**
At approximately 11 a.m. this morning, your Blackfoot Fire Department was dispatched to the 200 N area of 400 W for report of a shop on fire with a nearby home threatened. Engine 3 arrived on scene within 7 minutes and reported a fully involved structure. An attack line was pulled and the fire was knocked down 8 minutes later. Additional arriving units assisted with fire attack, water supply, and rehab.
Responding units were E-3, E-2, E-1, and ambulance 2. We'd like to give a huge thank you and shoutout to our dedicated volunteers and off-duty members. Any time there is a working structure fire dispatch, it requires all on-duty crews to manage. This causes a "page in" where an alert is sent to off-duty and volunteer members who then respond to the station to provide coverage.
While crews operated at this fire, an ambulance call was dispatched and responded to by paged in personnel. Our ambulance for rehab on scene was also staffed by paged in personnel.
Without the willingness of these members to interrupt their lives and drop what they are doing on their days off, there would be severe gaps in coverage of fire and EMS. As always, we are proud to serve the citizens of Blackfoot and Bingham County!
