IDAHO FALLS — The Idaho Falls Fire Department was called to a report of smoke at Downeast on 17th Street near Hitt Road Friday evening.
The call came in around 7:15 p.m. with the person saying light gray smoke was coming out of a vent.
Crews responded and evacuated the store as a precaution, according to Idaho Falls Fire Department spokeswoman Kerry Hammon. Firefighters went on the roof of the building and inspected nearby businesses, including Michaels.
