A small brush fire threatened six homes on Tubbs Hill last night. Four different agencies responded to the fire, which was reported at 8:30 p.m. and burned about an acre. The cause of the fire is still being investigated, said Coeur d’Alene Fire Chief Kenny Gabriel. “So, our guess is that it’s probably a human caused fire, which makes us nervous,” he said.
