Hays resident Darrel Goheen used a drone to shoot aerial video of Saturday’s early morning fire at the Heartland Truss Plant just south of Hays, and the scene again at about noon with some visible smoke still rising.

Approximately 30 firefighters responded and were on the scene from 4:40 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

Investigators from the state fire marshal ruled the cause of the massive blaze as “unknown” and as having “started in the break room,” according to Ellis County Rural Fire Director Dick Klaus.
