A purple shed that was housing equipment was damaged in a fire on Wednesday afternoon. No injuries were reported by Captain Ron Smith of the Taylorville Fire Department who said that there were some burning leaves that got out of control.

Wind was not a factor today but Captain Smith says that it could have been worse had it been windy.

The building stored equipment and lumber inside. It was located by the softball field and the track.
