The Idaho Falls Fire Department was dispatched to the 7000 block of N 5th W for a report of a structure fire Friday around 5:41 a.m. Officials report one adult female was home at the time of the fire. The resident reported she was awakened by the sound of a loud pop and saw an orange glow coming from the outside corner of the home. She attempted to put the fire out herself with buckets of water, but the fire began to spread. She called 911 and was able to self-evacuate before crews arrived. When firefighters arrived on scene to the small single story home, 35 to 40 percent of the home was fully involved in fire. They began with an exterior attack on the home and then began fighting the fire on the inside.
