TEA, S.D. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the cause of a warehouse fire in Tea.

Assistant Fire Chief Steve Oberle says there were no injuries in the Wednesday afternoon blaze at the storage building used by Thornton Flooring, though a firefighter was treated at a hospital for heat exhaustion.

Oberle says crews had to deal with toxic fumes from flooring and insulation inside the building, but the wind was dissipating them to the point that they were not a danger to surrounding areas.
