Details: Fire Station 16 made a call to dispatch this
afternoon regarding smoke coming from warehouse building located next door.
Firefighters immediately responded and called a second alarm to the location.
No one was in the building at the time of the fire. The fire went to a four-
alarm due to the need for manpower. The company, known as Lone Star Silver,
packaged x-ray films from area hospitals and doctor’s offices for a refining
company. The cause of the fire has not been determined at this time.
