The New Century FS caught fire on Saturday afternoon. Vinton Fire Department responded as well as Garrison, Cedar-Mt. Auburn, Urbana, and Shellsburg Fire Departments.

North Benton EMS, Benton County Sheriff's department and the Vinton Police Department were also on scene assisting.

Vinton's ladder truck came in useful in combatting the fire with the ability to rise above the roof level.  

There were no reported injuries and no cause has been determined at this time.  

Thank you to all of our area fire department volunteers, law enforcement and EMS you are all the best!
