A devastating fire razed the city of Selfridge's 105-year-old post office in North Dakota early Monday, as reported by KFYR-TV. The blaze, which saw five trucks, a tanker, and multiple volunteers responding, has prompted state and federal authorities to investigate its cause. No injuries occurred, and the fire was contained to the post office.
Secretary Debbie Vollmuth of the Selfridge Rural Fire District said flames were leaping out of the building's roof and windows. Selfridge, a small town with around 125 residents, is located on the Standing Rock Reservation, approximately 60 miles from Bismarck. The reservation, home to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, garnered international attention during the 2016-17 Dakota Access pipeline protests. These events saw months of activism against the pipeline's route near the Missouri River. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
