Fire broke out early Sunday morning at the Central Illinois Ag building in Atlanta. The fire is still under investigation, but it is believed it began somewhere in the area of the company's offices.

The farm equipment dealership is owned by the Schmidt family. Monday they were on hand along with several of their employees who began working to clean up, and also they were open for business as much as possible.

The owners plan to bring in a portable office to work out of until the damaged part of the building can be rebuilt.
