The kiln is a large metal building filled with lumber which utilizes an external gas furnace to heat the inside of the building to 220 degrees. Fans in the ceiling circulate the hot air. Basically, it&#8217;s a giant convection oven which over a period of days, removes moisture from the wood and opens the &#8220;pores&#8221; of the wood, a\u00a0process to prepare the wood for later cutting and treatment with chemicals under pressure in order to preserve the wood. The lumber inside the building was removed with forklifts and sprayed down by firemen in order to get to the fire at the back side of the building and behind a huge stack of lumber. The Pebble Fire Department assisted HFD with a tanker. \u00a0The cause of the fire nor the exact extent of damages are known at this time.
