Columbia County Commissioners and other observers checked out the damage at the transfer station on Friday.
DAYTON – Columbia County Commissioners declared an emergency Friday afternoon following an early morning fire at the county transfer station on South Cottonwood Street that destroyed most of the necessary operational equipment and seriously damaged the integrity of the main building.
"Basically we [declared the emergency] because otherwise we'd have to go through the official bidding process to get the cleanup and repairs done," Commissioner Dwight Robanske said. "We're dealing with the health and safety of the community here, and we need to be able to get started right away."
Until furth...
