JEROME A. POLLOS/Press..Coeur d'Alene firefighter Jake Bieker looks for an area to secure caution tape while crews extinguish an attic fire caused by electrical wiring at a home Tuesday on 11th Street in Coeur d'Alene. The fire is believed to be caused by snow sliding off the roof which severed electrical lines near the eaves. Homeowners are reminded to not only protect electrical and gas lines that enter the home from snow falling from rooftops, but to also have a working smoke detector and clear snow from hydrants near their home.
