BONNERS FERRY — Bill McIntosh, 78, was taking a shower when a fire broke out in the kitchen of his Camp Nine residence on Friday, Feb. 28.

Neighbor Lui Lorca-Merono III was the first to notice smoke coming from the front of the structure.

“When I opened the front door, smoke exploded out at me,” Lorca-Merono III said, “so I ran around to the back door, yelling for Bill.”
