Fatal fire under investigation

KINGSTON — The Idaho State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating a structure fire that occurred Friday night, resulting in the death of a Silver Valley man.  

Emergency crews were called to 2337 Old River Road, between Albert's Landing and the Bumblbee cut-off, around 7:45 p.m. Friday after reports of a structure fire with someone still inside. Off-duty firefighters and Shoshone County Sheriff’s deputies arrived quickly, but intense heat, thick smoke and exploding ammunition and oxygen tanks made it impossible to safely enter the home.
