The cause of a fire that destroyed a semi trailer, two dump trucks and a flatbed trailer in Pierre just after 3 o’clock this afternoon (May 18) is under investigation.
Pierre Volunteer Fire Department chief Ian Paul says the equipment was parked by G & N Construction on the east side of town.
Paul says no one was injured and no surrounding structures were damaged.
The gusty southeast winds blew the smoke making it look as though the fire was near the State Capitol building, when in reality it was about one mile away with two major roadways and dozens of homes, businesses and state office buildings in between.
The Pierre Police Department, Hughes County Sheriff’s Office and AMR ambulance service assisted the Pierre Volunteer Fire Department with the call. Emergency responders were on scene for about an hour.
