Additional crews were called in to assist with supplying water to the attack and conducting a thorough search of the home for any remaining occupants while also checking for any potential fire extension. Despite some smoke spreading into the attic and other rooms within the residence, firefighters were able to contain the fire to just the garage area.

Thankfully, there were no reported injuries among civilians or firefighters. However, it was determined that both the garage and its contents were a total loss. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

In light of this incident, the Idaho Falls Fire Department would like to remind residents about the dangers of barbecuing indoors or in enclosed spaces such as garages or homes. This can quickly lead to dangerous situations such as fires and high levels of carbon monoxide. It is crucial to only use grills outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from any combustible materials for everyone's safety.
