A devastating fire broke out in Hayden Lake, Idaho, over the weekend, engulfing a lakeside home and spreading to the surrounding wild land. The Northern Lakes Fire Department responded to the incident, utilizing unique fire fighting boats and equipment to battle the blaze from the lake.
Challenging Fire Fight
Due to the home’s location directly on the lake, firefighters faced a challenging time accessing the area. The fire quickly spread through the three-story home and onto the hillside, prompting a second alarm and a response from aerial crews.
The Northern Lakes Fire Department successfully contained the fire to one home, thanks in part to the assistance of surrounding area authorities. The cause of the fire is not specified in the report.
