A spokesperson with Middleton/Star Fire District has confirmed that there have been no injuries reported at a large barn fire in Middleton. On the afternoon of Saturday, March 7, fire crews from across the Treasure Valley responded to an outdoor barn fire reported on 7704 Foothill Road. According to Deputy Chief Victor Islas with the Middleton/Star Fire District, multiple callers contacted dispatch regarding the incident at around 12:40 p.m.
After arriving on the scene, firefighters found defensible fire conditions, meaning the state of the barn was deemed unsafe for crews to enter, Islas said. Meridian Fire Department, Caldwell Fire Department, Eagle Fire Department and Sand Hollow Fire assisted in the response. Neighborhood Reporter Allie Triepke said that crews were able to efficiently control the blaze.
