City planning restoration of Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter
BILLINGS - The city of Billings has shut down further use of its animal control incinerator a week after an emissions leak sickened Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter employees and forced the evacuation of animals.
City administrator Chris Kukulski says the incinerator will remain out of service for all purposes until the investigation is completed.
The city animal control incinerator was used last Friday to burn methamphetamine by the FBI.
The city and RiverStone Health say they have the authority to use the incinerator for something other than animal carcasses but add they were unaware that meth was being burned.
