An early morning fire caused heavy damage to the
Vapor Max store, 6387 Kootenai Street in
downtown Bonners Ferry. According to Bonners
Ferry Fire Chief Pat Warkentin, it appears the
cause was electrical.
According to Warkinton, the owner of the
business, Crystal Anton, was notified at home of
a burglar alarm, and she called the sheriff's
office.
Bonners Ferry Police Officer Willie Cowell
responded to the business, saw smoke inside and
noticed that the windows were hot, and at 3:03
a.m. called for the fire department.
Fire personnel were able to quickly extinguish
the blaze and limit damage, but Warkentin said
there was extensive interior fire and smoke
damage. Fire crews remained on scene for about
three hours.
"Vapor max will be closed until we move into the
new building in a few weeks due to a fire,"
Anton posted on Facebook this morning. "We will
try to salvage what we can and if you need
anything you can call us at (208) 597-2683. We
will be operating from our home, so please call
your liquid order in ahead of time. God bless
you all, thank you for understanding." |
