KYLE, S.D. — Short-term and long-term housing is being arranged after a fire destroyed a senior living complex in Kyle early Wednesday morning.

According to Oglala Sioux Tribe Emergency Management, crews responded to the fire around 5:30 a.m. Strong winds helped push the fire quickly through the complex, but OST Emergency Management says all residents were safely evacuated.

A donation center has been established at the Oyate Teca Project in Kyle. Those wishing to donate or needing more information can contact Rose Fraser at 605-441-9892 (cell) or 605-408-5634 (office).

Little Wound School dismissed students at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday and served lunch to residents affected by the fire. Victims can also check out donations at the school auditorium until 4 p.m., after which items will be moved to the Oyate Teca Project. Additional donations are still needed.

Requested items include adult and children’s clothing, diapers, underwear, socks, electronics, blankets, pillows and personal hygiene items such as combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and feminine products. Medical supplies and over-the-counter items are also needed, including cough drops, cold medicine, rubbing alcohol pads, bandages and gauze.

Residents who receive SNAP benefits and lost food in the fire are required to complete a replacement form. Forms are available in the school auditorium.
