Fire destroys sheds, belongings
January 3, 2011
A quick-moving fire Tuesday afternoon left a Pleasant Valley family looking on in shock as possessions collected over a lifetime were destroyed.

At 1:25 p.m. January 3, sheriff's dispatchers received a call of a shed on fire at 1229 Pleasant Valley Loop. By the time Paradise Valley fire fighters arrived on scene, the structure was fully engulfed and had spread to a second shed. South Boundary firefighters were called in to provide support.

Property owner Kevin Church was informed of the fire as he was heading to lunch from his job at General Feed and Grain, and he arrived home to both buildings on the ground; his tools, a tractor, a four wheel ATV, a boat, all destroyed.

Firefighters were able to contain the blaze to keep it from spreading to the nearby home and trees, but there was nothing they could do to save either of the sheds.

Cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
