Elevator Office Burns in Roseville
Flames broke out early Tuesday morning at the Farmer's Grain Elevator in Roseville.

According to District Chief Darrell Page, the office area of the elevator caught fire sometime around 4:30 am.

"Basically when we arrived, the structure was fully engulfed. It had already started to vent through the roof on the west side of the buildings; we placed our hoses and everything..and had a hard time because of the cold getting water flow and everything. We did activate our other two stations so we had Roseville, Swan Creek, and Smithshire."

Page tells WGIL the state fire marshal has been called and an investigation into the cause of the fire continues.

Crews are still on scene putting out hot spots and cleaning up.
