A fire broke out at the abandoned construction camp across from the senior center. Roughly 10 firefighters arrived on scene to combat the blaze. EMS coordinator Braden Tinker said the fire was too strong when they arrived. It may have been burning for five to ten minutes when they received a call. “Initially paged out as a structure fire at K Camp," Tinker said. "Fire and smoke showing. Pulled lines and started attacking the fire with the power still live. And then we had to stop – cease – until the power was out.” The fire was contained around an hour after the responders arrived. Tinker says the cause of the fire is unknown.
