A fire across the street from the DeWitt County Building that knocked power out for the area has resulted in a power outage at the building and tonight's DeWitt County Board meeting has been postponed.

DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker informed Regional Radio News of the development earlier Thursday. The Courthouse portion of the building is without heat, power, and internet.

DeWitt County Board Chair Terry Ferguson and Administrator DeeDee Rentmeister will decide when to reschedule the meeting for, likely next week.

The Thursday fire occurred around 11 am stemming from a downed tree and had components of both electrical and gas involvement.
