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.
