First responders put out fire at Louisiana Pacific building in Thomasville

First responders from multiple fire departments put out a fire that broke out at the Louisiana Pacific building in Thomasville on Wednesday afternoon. 

A social media post from Thomasville Mayor Sheldon Day said that the Thomasville, Grove Hill, Hellwestern, Fulton fire departments and the Lousiana Pacific Fire Brigade Team responded to the scene and thanked them for putting it out. 

"Any fire on an extremely hot day like today is dangerous to firefighters. A large industrial fire in a confined space is not only dangerous but, can turn deadly very quickly," he said. "We had several folks who reached their limit today heat wise but, as always we were looking out for each other and rotating folks out to get hydrated."

Day said that all of the employees of the building and the firefighters on the scene were safe. He added that the damage was repairable.
