Three months ago, a wildfire burned six homes near Idaho Correctional Institution-Orofino.

ICIO staff and residents raised $3,717 to help the facility's neighbors replace things they lost.

"The kitchen did a resident cookie incentive fundraiser and staff donated items for a raffle," writes ICIO Lt. Greg Heun.

The fire was sparked Aug. 29 when a transformer blew during a windstorm. Within 30-minutes six houses behind the prison were on fire.
