(Sheldon)– Officials in Sheldon are trying to figure out the cause of a fire recently at the city’s tree dump. Public Works Director Todd Uhl says the Sheldon, Ashton and Sanborn Fire Departments responded to put it out, which he says was a time consuming process…
Uhl says it took about four and-a-half hours to put the fire out.
Uhl says the trees disposed at the site typically are NOT burned. Instead, he says they are ground up. The chips are then shipped to an ethanol plant in South Dakota.
