Yikes!
An Idaho ski lodge owned by Bruce Willis has burned down!!
Thankfully, no one was harmed in the blaze, but the lodge was completely destroyed!
The freshly married actor’s Soldier Mountain ski lodge in Fairfield, Idaho caught fire early Monday morning, and by the time volunteer firefighters were able to reach the scene 30 minutes later, it was too late.
“The two buildings are completely gone and nothing left inside could be saved,” Fire Chief Wayne Marolf revealed to reporters.
Firefighter Shaun Stewart was one of the first on the scene and described the horrific situation. “When we first arrived the smoke and box smoke were bailing out of the north lodge, the north end of the rental shop was engulfed, it was rolling off the roof line,” Stewart recalled.
“The only thing I could do was put water onto the building that hadn’t been engulfed in flames yet, and try to cool down the flames coming out.”
So sad!
Firefighters believe the blaze to be an accident, but the fire marshal will be arriving later today to fully investigate the scene of the fire in case there was any “foul play.”
Willis’ reps filed plans only last month to build a brand new lodge at the ski resort, and we can only assume that will now be happening sooner than later!
