A controlled burn on Saturday afternoon shot plumes of black smoke into the sky over the east portion of Webster City. The Webster City Fire Department and fire departments from outlying small towns, including Duncombe, stood guard over the blaze that razed the former Shady Oaks Motel. The one-story structure had long ago ceased to be a motel.
