Fire has decimated a local business. It was just after closing time that the student working in Pioneer Cabinetry noticed smoke coming from the spray room. He went to employee Chris Lee?s nearby home right away. "He ran over to my house, and my wife works with us as well. She called 9-1-1 and I ran in to see what I could do. I didn't even take the time to put shoes on." Chris thinks the exhaust fan might have seized and sparked starting the fire. He said as soon as he got to the building there was little he could do. The major roadway had to be shut down for over 5-hours as fire crews dealt with the inferno. There were no injuries, but the entire building was destroyed with all that wood to keep feeding the fire. Damage is estimated at 2-million dollars.
