An apparent chimney fire this evening destroyed
a home and vehicle and claimed the lives of two
dogs and some poultry, but fortunately, none of
the occupants.
The fire was reported at 8 p.m. at 1 Twin Rivers
Road just east of Moyie Springs at the home of
Bonnie Hibble, Mike Phillips and their two
children, Austin, 6, and Kayla, 4.
According to family friend Tori Dexter, Bonnie
and Mike had recently separated and Bonnie and
the two children were staying with a relative in
Bonners Ferry.
Mike and Bonnie's sister, Christina, and her
husband Brandon, also living in the home, she said,
had gone to the Moyie Store, and when they
returned, the house was engulfed in flames.
According to Dexter, the family lost everything
in the fire except a few clothes Bonnie had with
her.
Mike's grandmother, Nita Hilliard, 7323 Blaine
Street, Bonners Ferry, located next door to
Bonners Family Medicine, is accepting items
donated for the family.
According to Mike's mother, Tina Lloyd, Kayla
wears a size 8 shoe and size 2t clothes; Austin
wears a size 12 shoe and size 5t clothes. Mike
and Brandon are both about the same size, and
Mike wear size xl shirt and coat and size 32-32
pants. Christina wears size 1-3 pants and small
shirt.
Dexter is in the process of having a drop-off
point set up at Mountain Springs Church, and has
offered to pick up donated items for delivery.
