Firefighters from Stuart and at least 13 other area fire departments battled a blaze that destroyed the Casey Community Building last night. KCCI-TV reports the blaze broke out shortly after midnight. A passer-by reported the building was fully engulfed in flames.Heavy rain that rolled through the area helped to smother the flames, but the building was a total loss, after the roof and other parts of the structure collapsed.

A cause of the fire had not been determined as of early this morning, but authorities said it did not appear to be suspicious.The following photo’s are from the Stuart Volunteer Fire Department’s Facebook page:
