One dies in Lewiston apartment building fire

LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) — Fire officials said one person died and four were injured in a fire that destroyed a four-unit apartment building in Lewiston Sunday afternoon.

The Lewiston Tribune reports fire crews were dispatched to the fire just before 2 p.m. after someone reported several people were trapped on the second floor of the building.

The first fire engine arrived within four minutes, and crews used a ladder to rescue two people from one apartment on the second floor.

Another person was found in the other second-floor apartment, but did not survive.

Officials declined to release any additional information about the person who died.

The fire remains under investigation.
