IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) -- A fire started by workers burning weeds north of Idaho Falls spread to a nearby potato cellar, destroying it and 11,000 sacks of potatoes inside.

The Jefferson County sheriff's office says Wednesday evening's fire destroyed the 400-foot-long A-frame dirt cellar near Roberts and some nearby equipment.

The damage amount is still being determined.
