3. I am very close to the area of the ambush now. And it IS being called an AMBUSH.

I am at a Coeur d’Alene hotel on I-90 waiting to start fire lookout duty tomorrow. I saw the smoke column come up on the south side of Hayden Lake about two hours ago. Hayden and Hayden Lake are on the close north side of Coeur d’Alene.

Local news sources are saying that the fire was started to lure first responders in, at which time they were ambushed. Three firefighters were reported shot in the chest. Other firefighters and law enforcement are/were shot at.

It is hot and very dry, so the fire in and of itself is significant. There are incredible numbers of sirens and multiple helicopters in the area.
