Firefighters are on the scene of a fire in downtown Coeur d'Alene that has already burned one business and is threatening others. The fire appears to have started at the Gamer's Haven, 1200 E. Sherman Avenue, about 5 p.m. Sherman is closed between 11th and 12th Streets as firefighters work to extinguish the blaze. The Gamer's Haven is connected on the block to four other business, including the 12-10 tavern, a barbershop and the China Gate restaurant. The restaurant and barbershop were both closed Sunday. The Gamer's Haven had apparently closed a few minutes before patrons at the tavern next door noticed smoke, witnesses said. More here
