D.Davis57 min ago

A fire destroyed the 105-year-old post office in Selfridge on the Standing Rock Reservation early Monday.

State and federal authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, KFYR-TV reported. Five trucks, a tanker and multiple volunteers responded to the fire.

No one was injured and the fire did not spread to anything else, Selfridge Rural Fire District Secretary Debbie Vollmuth said. A video she filmed shows flames leaping out of the building's roof and windows.

The Associated Press left a phone message with the Sioux County sheriff, and emailed a spokesperson for the state attorney general as well as a spokesperson for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Selfridge is a town of around 125 people about 60 miles from Bismarck. The reservation is home to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
