The MacGregor Fire department was called out to fight a fire yesterday afternoon.

"We got called out to a building materials fire," says Fire Chief Chris Leckie. "It was a mile-and-a-half east of MacGregor."

Crews were called around 5 p.m. and battled the blaze for about three hours.

"[The] damage was confined to the building materials on the construction site," says Leckie. "We saved quite a bit of the material, but quite a bit of it was substantionally lost."

He says some people were taken in for observation for smoke inhalation.
