Fire engulfs large feed and supply store in La Junta
LA JUNTA, Colo. (KRDO) -- Just before 7 a.m. Monday morning, the La Junta Fire Department responded to a blaze at WW Feed & Supply on W 1st Street/Highway 50 in La Junta.
The fire and response have caused the roadway to be closed for several hours.
When firefighters arrived on scene, they found heavy smoke and fire in the middle of the long structure. The fire eventually spread through the entire building, which was built some time around 1930.
WW Feed & Supply is a "grind-and-mix" operation, which according to the business means that their mill crew can mix livestock feed to customer specifications, plus they keep other feed grain products very fresh and readily available in their warehouse
The La Junta Fire Chief said no one was inside the building when they arrives and there were no injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
