Transfer station work limited by fire

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) -UPDATE: 10-5--Investigation is continuing into the cause of a large fire at the Bonneville County Transfer station in Idaho Falls.  Crews were waiting to restore electricity to the building, which was damaged in a Sunday night fire.

The facility was closed to household garbage on Monday, although other transfer station services were operating.

Idaho Falls firefighters are on the scene of a large fire inside the Bonneville Transfer Station on 2455 Hemmert Ave.

Officials say the fire is contained as of 9:30 p.m., but not completely out. Crews plan to be on site for a while, but won't know the cause until Monday.

The fire was called in just before 7 p.m. when someone was driving by and saw thick black smoke pouring out of the building.

Firefighters had to cut through the doors to get into the building because the garage doors would not open.

Officials say the fire is burning household garbage in the pit area.
