First Assistant Fire Chief Russell Peck told KJAN News when they arrived, there was a lot of thick, black smoke coming out of the second of six storage units on the north side of the structure. Inside the unit was several oil cans other such materials that apparently created the thickness of the smoke.

Peck said the back window to that unit was broken and flames were shooting out. Firefighters entered the unit and knocked down  the flames within about 20-minutes, and began clean-up duties while making sure there were no other hot spots.

Peck said the cause of the fire remains undetermined, and investigators will be on the scene Sunday morning when there is more available light, to try and narrow down the cause. However, Peck said that because there was no electricity to the building, an electrical fire could be ruled out.

Central Standard Time (CST) returns this weekend at 2 a.m. Sunday, so set your clocks back an hour before going to sleep Saturday. The change means most Americans will get an extra hour of rest, but those working overnight shifts might toil an hour longer. It also means some will forget to change their clocks, and show up early for church or other events on Sunday.

Remember, when we switch to Standard Time, “Fall back” one hour.

Not everyone in the U.S. makes the switch from standard time. The exceptions are Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) time returns to Nebraska and Iowa in March.
