No one was injured in a fire late Monday morning on the 7200 block of South Five Mile in Boise. Boise firefighters were still working to determine how it sparked.

Ada County Sheriff’s deputies, who were in the area on an unrelated matter, saw the smoke. Bystanders told the deputies there might be people in the home, according to sheriff’s department spokesman Patrick Orr. Deputies entered the house and got at least two woman out before firefighters arrived, Orr said.
