Original story
JEFFERSON COUNTY — A fire is currently burning at Challenger Pallet and Supply at 24 N. 3210 East.
Firefighters with Central Fire District and the Idaho Falls Fire Department are at the fire.
Roads around the facility are temporarily closed as crews battle the fire.
In 2006, a massive fire ripped through and destroyed one of Challenger’s main buildings. Last year, Challenger surprised the Central Fire District with a $10,000 donation to purchase gear for firefighters.
