Good morning, Nampa.

Seventy firefighters from across Idaho filled 48-hour shifts in Kootenai County so that Coeur d'Alene crews could attend memorial services for two fallen firefighters killed last week in an ambush.

Twin Falls Fire Captain Kyle Eldridge said this unprecedented move showed statewide support during a difficult time.

Operation Military Blessings and the Ahlquist Group have launched Operation Babies, Bottles and Diapers to provide essential baby supplies for military families in the Treasure Valley.

Former Governor Kempthorne attended the announcement despite his ongoing treatment — residents can donate supplies at the Ahlquist building next to Top Golf in Meridian.

Mad Cake Skills offers pop-up cake decorating classes for beginners and groups in Nampa while also hosting events in other Treasure Valley cities.

Founder Aly Eske provides all supplies—using locally sourced cakes—to help students finish their own decorated treats.

Sparklight is working to fix an outage affecting internet, phone, and video services across Treasure Valley from its Nampa facility (the City of Meridian reported the issue).

A team is on-site working to restore service (repairs are underway) as customers wait.

Nampa is considering transferring the Ford Idaho Center to the College of Western Idaho, a move that would add nearly 100 acres next to the campus — a town hall will be held on July 15 from 4—6 p.m. at the center’s horse corral for residents to ask questions.

State officials are preparing to roll out artificial intelligence into government operations — the plan will boost efficiency as it moves toward implementation in the coming months.
