PHOTOS: On January 10th the Firth Fire Department in Eastern Idaho suffered a devastating fire resulting in a complete loss of their firehouse, 2 fire engines, and the contents inside. Fire and EMS departments from around the Treasure Valley and the state rose to the occasion to help this department in need.
Boise Fire and the State Fire Marshal’s office have been working to coordinate donations, and fire departments from across the state have reached out to offer donations of items such as personal protection equipment, firefighting equipment, medical supplies, communication devices, and much more. The Boise Fire Department was able to donate a fully loaded surplus fire engine that was set for auction. Several other departments in the Treasure Valley donated various items, including Emmett, Kuna, Eagle, Star, Nampa, and Weiser.
