KOOTENAI COUNTY, Idaho – Crews say one man has died following a mobile home fire near Highway 95 north of Garwood Monday morning.
Northern Lakes Fire responded to the scene near North Well Rd. & East Ohio Match Rd. Monday morning just after 7 a.m.
Northern Lakes Deputy Fire Marshall Chris Larson tells KHQ a man believed to be approximately in his 50’s was killed during the fire.
Crews said the fire was in a very rural area with hydrants spaced far apart, with the nearest hydrant about two miles away from the home off of Highway 95, hindering efforts at extinguishing the fire.
There was six water tenders on scene along with three structure fire engines.
KHQ has a reporter headed to the scene.
