Firefighters extinguish rural blaze

Published 8:58 am Friday, January 9, 2015

Fire destroyed a small outbuilding early Friday afternoon.

Fire departments from the cities of Joseph and Enterprise were dispatched to the blaze around 1:30 p.m., and when crews arrived at the scene, one of their top concerns was to protect an above-ground fuel storage tank near the burning shed, which was already fully involved in flame. Firefighters maintained a steady stream of water on the tank until the danger passed.

The Jan. 9 incident occurred at 68865 Elk Mountain Road.
