A structure fire that killed a cat and left one resident injured on Sunday in the 5900 block of W. Ellens Ferry Drive was caused by “improper disposal of cigarettes on a balcony.”
The Boise Fire Department and Eagle Fire Departments worked together to combat the early morning two-alarm blaze, which was reported just before 5 a.m. at a two-story, four-plex building. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered “heavy fire conditions” that resulted in a partial roof collapse.
