Sirens sounded this morning for volunteer firefighters from Blair and Fort Calhoun to put out a semi-trailer on fire at the Dollar General Distribution center.     That fire trailer full of paper goods was extinguished, no injures were indicated. Law enforcement provided traffic control for the incident.
