Lagro Farm Equipment Dealership Burns

Fire heavily damaged a building at a farm equipment business near the Wabash County town of Lagro this morning. Dispatchers got the call from Pefley Farm Equipment on State Road 524 at 12:43 a.m. Lagro Fire Chief Scott Siders says when his department arrived, one end of the maintenance shop was engulfed in flames. It took firefighters from Lagro and Urbana about half an hour to control the fire but they were on the scene for about four hours. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries. Siders says most of the building’s roof collapsed, but they were able to save the tractors and other equipment that was inside. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
