Boise Police Identify Juvenile Suspects in Union Block Building Arson Investigation
October 29, 2024
Boise Police detectives have identified three juvenile suspects following an investigation into fires set at the Union Block Building on October 12, 2024. Charges have been forwarded to the juvenile prosecutor for review.
On October 12, 2024, around 5:15 p.m. Boise Fire and Police responded to a report of smoke in the basement of a business located at 8th and Idaho. Nearby businesses were briefly evacuated while emergency responders investigated the source of the smoke.
Fire fighters soon located over a dozen small fires on the first floor of the vacant Union Block building on W. Idaho Street and extinguished them. Items on fire included old kitchen and office supplies. The fires did not spread to the rest of the building and there was no structural damage from the fires.
Fire investigators determined the cause of the fires to be arson and Boise Police detectives took over the investigation. Possible charges against the juveniles include arson and burglary.
