The Butler Fire Department and Emergency Personnel responded to calls of flames seen from the area of Rice Road and Nursery Street in Butler, around 8 pm Thursday evening.
Flames were visible to traffic from 1-49 and Fort Scott
Street. Embers from a burn pile made their way to a large pile of slab wood in
the parking lot, which ignited into flames. The quick response from Emergency
Personnel contained the blaze, keeping the incident from resulting in much more
intense damage.
South Side Lumber is back to business as usual on Friday,
and they expressed their thanks to the media for the quick response and efficiency
of the Butler Fire Department containing this fire, the outcome could have been
much worse.
Thank you to the Butler Fire Department and the
Emergency Personnel Team.
