Several area fire companies, along with law enforcement and paramedic personnel, were dispatched to a home on the 21000 block of S. Cottonwood St. shortly before 3:30 p.m., after receiving reports of a residential structure fire.
Firefighters began arriving in the area within minutes and soon updated that the fire, which was put out prior to their arrival, was limited to a small area outside a residence and had not spread to any structures, outbuildings or vehicles.
As engine companies from throughout the Intermountain area were continuing to converge on the unincorporated community east of Burney, officials updated that the incident would handled by firefighters already at the scene and that all other resources could be released from the call.
