The tea dyeing factory was destroyed by fire

TEA, SD (Dakota News Now) – Authorities say no one was injured after a fire broke out at a painting business in Tea.

Lincoln County Emergency Manager Harold Timmerman says the fire started at 10:30 a.m. and by the time first responders arrived, the building was not salvageable, so they looked to protect surrounding buildings from the flames.

Timmerman says crews from Harrisburg, Lennox, Chancellor, Worthing and Sioux Falls responded to the fire.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
