Boundary County Emergency Services, including North Bench Fire, South Boundary Fire, the sheriff’s office, Boundary Ambulance and Hall Mountain Fire responded to a fire in progress this morning north of Three Mile on Echo Drive.

The fire was in a hay barn in which Brad Bunge lived in his motor home. The barn with farm equipment including fuels and oils along with a large amount of hay, was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived and provided a lot of fuel for the fire.

Bunge escaped the fire with little injury, but everything within the barn was a total loss, including Bunge’s motor home with all his clothes, cell phone and personal belongings.

Emergency management contacted the Red Cross of Idaho to see if Bunge could be helped with immediate needs.

Remember, in any emergency please call 911 immediately, state your name, your address and phone number and the type of emergency you have.
