Fire Department extinguishes weekend fire

The Wayne Volunteer Fire Department received a call Saturday night around 6 p.m. that Wayne Grain & Feed Inc., located at 410 Fairground Avenue in Wayne, was on fire.

The fire started in the office area and was contained to that location.

Winside, Wakefield and Carroll Volunteer Fire Departments were called in to assist.

The firemen stayed at the location until around 9:30 p.m. when they considered it safely out.

No one has been at the business on Saturday so it could have been smoldering for awhile.

The cause of the fire appears to be electrical but is under investigation by the State Fire Marshall.
