The Running’s Distribution Center on Airport Road in Pierre was evacuated for about an hour yesterday afternoon (Dec. 6, 2023).
Pierre Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ian Paul says the carbon monoxide detectors in the building were going off.
Paul says the levels were higher than usual, but not extremely high so workers went about their jobs…. until the alarms sounded.
Paul says this event is a reminder for people to be sure they have working carbon monoxide detectors at home and at work.
The Pierre Police Department and AMR ambulance service also responded. All crews were on-scene for about an hour.
