northeast side of the building and shut off the power But the fire spread throughout the 100footlong building once it got into the rafters Gaede said FridayThe building about 30 to 40 feet wide was a combination of about 10 or 12 buildings that were added onto over the years under one roof he said The building had cement and wood walls and mostly tin roofing Two excavators used backhoes to separate metal from the burning material at the sceneThere were no injuries and no monetary damage estimate was available Insurance officials were at the scene Friday Gaede saidFire departments from

the burner and it overheated Zais said It just took off There's a whole lot of damageIf the corn dryer is a complete loss replacing it could cost 400000 Zais saidThe building is 50 feet tall and the
