Job Corps fire causes unknown

From staff reports

South Hays County firefighters responded to Gary Job Corp Center on Wednesday; two days after battling a stubborn fire that destroyed an abandoned dormitory.

According to Chief David Smith, Wednesday’s call concerned a mattress in a dormitory that is in use. Though the flames were doused by the building’s sprinkler system, Smith said fire crews assisted in helping to clean up some pretty significant water damage.

Late Monday night, firefighters extinguished a blaze that started in a World War II era building that had been a dormitory but was boarded up and unoccupied.

The cause of both fires is being investigated.
