Firefighters Return to Nevada Grain Building

March 28, 2006
Most of the building collapsed, and several vehicles were destroyed.

Firefighters were called back Tuesday morning to a grain building that was on fire in Nevada.

Fire crews from Nevada and Colo worked until midnight to put a large fire at the Nevada Feed and Seed at 436 11th St. on Nevada's east side.

Firefighters returned to the area at about 5 a.m. Tuesday to wet down the corn and to cool some of the hot pockets. There were still areas of smoke and smoldering sections at the destroyed building.

The building is used to store grain and small tractors.

Most of the 75-foot tall building collapsed from fire damage. It appears that a semi truck and several smaller vehicles were destroyed.

No one was injured and a cause has not yet been determined.

An investigator is on the scene Tuesday trying to determine the cause of the fire.
