Deputy
Fire Chief Larry Nickles tells the Yankton Daily Press & Dakotan
that the Monday afternoon fire started in a paint room at Sapa
Extrusions. The cause was not immediately determined.
A
damage estimate was not immediately available. Company officials were
working late Monday to clean up and get the business operating again.
Nickles
says the fire presents a unique problem for the department — paint that
got on some firefighting gear and equipment will be difficult to
remove. He says some items might not be salvageable. -- Associated Press
