“Multiple heroic firefighters were attacked today while responding to a fire in North Idaho,” Governor Brad Little wrote on X. “This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters. I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more.” The suspect remains at large.

Two firefighters died and one was fighting for his life after a "total ambush" in Coeur d'Alene, authorities said.
