A fire in Vincennes caused more than a million dollars in damage.
The fire which housed work one, social security and a number of other offices caught fire around 8:30 Friday night.
It took firefighters about four hours to extinguish the blaze, but they were still on the scene Saturday night putting out hot spots that keep igniting.
No one was in the building when it caught fire.
But last nights freezing conditions caused problems for firefighters--two suffered minor injuries--one from slipping on the ice.
Battalion Chief Sonny Pinkstaff estimated the damage at more than a million dollars and said the building was a complete loss.
An investigation into what caused the fire is underway.
