Overnight fire spreads flames through Fruitland

We're seeing overnight reports of a major fire in Fruitland.

We've reached out to the Payette County Sheriff's Office who tell us they'll release more information shortly, however the area scorched by the fire is across from Fruitland City Hall, at the former Fruitland nursery.

At this time it appears the only structural damage is to a pole barn and some old farm trucks.

Idaho News 6 Neighborhood Reporter Keith Burrell spoke with neighbors in the area, they believe the flames may have been caused by aerial fireworks which are illegal in the state of Idaho.

Fruitland Police say that authorities in the area have responded to thirteen different calls related to fires in the past week, some of which destroyed structures.
