The brooder box was made of cardboard and had wood chips and a heat lamp inside.

Nobody was home at the time of the fire. Firefighters were called out shortly after noon.

There were two dogs inside, but they were let out by a member of the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

“There was a deputy driving by and actually saw the smoke coming out of the house,” he said. More. David Cole, CdA Press

Reason #79 why I won't let my husband raise chickens. Also were any baby chicks barbecued in the blaze?
