A Fire at the Battle Mountain Humane Society has destroyed the shelter north of Hot Springs, killing several animals and sending one person to the hospital for stitches.
The blaze happened Wednesday afternoon where the main caretaker lived in a small apartment attached to the lone building. Officials say as many as eight cats and dogs died in the fire and dozens more were displaced. Society board member Cheryl Fair tells KOTA-TV that facility founder and caretaker Tonia Wagoner cut her hand helping dogs escape and needed stitches.
