Assistant Fire Chief Rick Dettmann told MSC News the building was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived. Its the third time the building has caught fire.
No injuries were reported and no other buildings were damaged.
According to the Richardson County Assessors Office records, the building is owned by Donald Stroud of Ashland, Nebraska while the Burlington Northern Railroad owns the land the building sits on.
