RAPID CITY, S.D. – Fire crews from Rapid Valley responded to a two alarm structure fire in the 2300 block of Bradsky Road at approximately 10:22 Friday night.
Firefighters faced darkness, snow-packed icy roads, temperatures of 21 degrees Fahrenheit, freezing hose lines, and lack of a water supply forcing water to be hauled to the fire in tenders.
The fire was contained to the home. No injuries to civilians were reported, but one Firefighter suffered a fall and was transported to Rapid City Monument Hospital for further evaluation. Two cats remain missing as of the time of the release.
The Red Cross Serving Central and Western South Dakota and the Black Hills Fire Chaplains Association are assisting the occupants.
