Chip fire: Twenty firefighters spent a total of three hours Monday in two visits to the Boise Inc. chip piles along Highway 11 East. According to the report, sparks from an electrical issue there ignited a chip pile, which rekindled later in the ceiling of a small building. Department officials said dust from the chips made the fire difficult to completely extinguish.
