Fire departments respond to early morning structure fire

This morning at 9 am, the Boise, Meridian, and Eagle Fire departments responded to a structure fire reported at a business on W Chinden Blvd. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy smoke billowing from the building.

A second alarm was activated as crews swiftly contained the fire, ensuring the safety of nearby businesses. The fire's origin near a small office by the kitchen is currently under investigation, with early indications suggesting vertical spread from that point.
