Update Thursday, March 2, 11:00AM:
Pinedale Lumber owner Justin Sandner gave an update to say the fire involved their Building #10 on the grounds. That building contained their special order wood, doors, cedar, pine, ultra dry special wood. It also had some fork lifts, roofing under-layments, tar paper, extra truck tire storage, and some petroleum-based products that accounted for the black smoke. No one was hurt. There were only a couple of employees and one customer on the grounds at the time. The cause of the fire is still unknown and under investigation, but it started and became involved very quickly. "It was hot and fast," Sandner said. "Very much a thank you to the Fire Department and everyone who helped. We are open today." He was appreciative of everyone who has already stopped by to express their concern and show support. He added that they didn’t have power this morning, and a local electrician, Dan Liske, came over early and got them back up and going again, so he gave a special ‘thank you’ also to Dan for helping them out.
