Images from the Bancroft Fire

There were many, many pictures of the fire--by Alana Burns, myself, and then many people who sent them in.  Because our weekly paper is limited to its one day schedule, we only have so much print room for the images, but you can find many more on our Facebook page.  We will also endeavor to provide updates during the week on our page as we get them.  In selecting the pictures for this page, we looked for a few things--images that show the intensity and scope of the peak moments of the fire, and those that showcase the community involvement in the firefighting.  Our Facebook page contains more pictures of some of the individuals at the scene during the day, images of the aftermath of the fire, images of Saturday’s smaller housefire, and more.  We have had people ask through Messenger how to subscribe to the print paper, and the easiest way is to fill out and send in the form on the bottom of page 11.  Calling 208-766-4773 is also a good method.  Our office hours are 9 am to 3 pm, though we have a small staff so if you don’t reach us, try again a bit later.
