26 Homes Lost in Limelight Condominium Fire
No human casualties

Saturday, Sep. 3, at approximately 7:30 p.m., a structure fire broke out at the Limelight Condominiums at 2107 Warm Springs Road.

Firefighters began the initial search for people inside the building before attacking the fire. There were no human casualties. It is not yet confirmed whether pets were lost in the blaze.

“I am thankful to all the crews that responded valley-wide,” said Fire Chief Bill McLaughlin. “This type of collaboration is critical when fighting a fire of this magnitude.”

The cause of the blaze is under investigation. A state fire marshal inspector will be on scene to investigate and make the final determination.

The city is currently working on connecting those who have lost their homes with housing offered by generous members of the community. Short- and long-term accommodations are being sourced by the city’s Housing Strategist Carissa Connelly.

“Our hearts go out to those who have lost their homes and some who may have lost their pets,” said Mayor Neil Bradshaw. “This community is coming together once again and I thank them for the support we have received so far, whether it be from providing temporary shelter, clothing or financial assistance.”

Ketchum Fire Department received the call at 7:38 p.m. and were on-scene within 4 minutes. Sun Valley, Wood River, and Hailey fire departments also responded to the call. The crews fought the fire throughout the night, containing it by 4 a.m. Crews were still on scene extinguishing hot spots this morning.

Representatives from Idaho Falls American Red Cross arrive today and will be located in the community room at the Ketchum Fire Station, 107 Saddle Road. They will provide packages of essential items, immediate financial assistance and assist in refilling lost prescriptions, eyewear, etc.
