A family dog died and a garage unit was badly damaged in a structure fire yesterday (Tues.) evening in Pierre.
Pierre Fire Department chief Ian Paul says the fire was in the 900 block of East Capitol Avenue, not far from the Governor’s Mansion.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Paul says yesterday’s cold temperature made fighting the fire a little more difficult.
Firefighters were on site for approximately 2.5 hours. Other responders on scene included Fort Pierre Fire, AMR and law enforcement.
