RAPID CITY, South Dakota – Cleanup efforts are underway after an early morning fire ripped through multiple buildings at Timberwest Manufacturing in Rapid City. The building served as a fence post and pole plant at Timberwest. Despite an inter-agency effort between multiple fire departments, part of the plant was destroyed. TimberWest president Tim Danley says no employees were injured and says the 45 workers in the fence post operation are being transferred into different divisions, which are still operating after the fire. Danley says they will rebuild and says they have already met with contractors about that. …Kobes adds that the plant was an integral part of the business at Timberwest Manufacturing and that it may take them awhile to recover. One firefighter was taken to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
