ORIGINAL STORY

Emergency crews have been called to a house fire that threatened multiple structures in Ucon.

On Saturday afternoon, the Idaho Falls Fire Department says that it was dispatched to 6027 E.129th N for a report of a fire threatening multiple structures including a mobile home, a barn, and a camp trailer.

On arrival, IFFD found a barn and two camp trailers engulfed in flames, as well as fire that had extended along the ditch bank. The fire was threatening a single-family mobile home as well as a shed and other structures in the area. The fire did extend into the outside wall of the mobile home, but firefighters were able to keep it from extending into the rest of the home or into the skirting underneath the home.

There were no reported injuries.

Roads leading to the home were closed for approximately one hour as a safety precaution.

IFFD is working with Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office and Ucon Fire Department to help determine the cause of the fire.
