Coeur d’Alene is in northwest Idaho, about 30 miles east of Spokane. It is known for its outdoors activities, and is near the large Coeur d’Alene Lake, national forestland and mountains, including Canfield Mountain. The mountain features both public and private lands and trails for hiking, mountain biking and motorcycling.

Two firefighters were killed and one critically wounded in a northern Idaho shooting Sunday afternoon as they responded to a fire that authorities believe was intentionally started by the now-deceased gunman.

A man who had intentionally set the fire to ambush the crew on Sunday was perched in a sniper position, firing at the firefighters, according to the AP. They took cover behind firetrucks, but two died and a third was wounded during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, authorities said.
