Van Buren County officials are scrambling about what to do after a fire destroyed the county administrative building in Spencer on Wednesday night.Firefighters from six counties battled the blaze for nearly 15 hours but were unable to save the building.“It’s a total loss,” said Van Buren County 911 director David Chandler. “We were able to salvage a couple old books and a few other items from the trustee’s office, but that was about it.”The administrative building, located at 500 College Street, housed most county offices including offices of property assessor, trustee, election administrator, mayor, and the historical society. Vital county records such as deeds were backed up in Nashville, but many historical items not backed up were lost.Chandler said an emergency meeting of the Van Buren County Commission was called for Thursday night to discuss what action to take.“We’re going to have to figure out what we’re going to do temporarily to house these offices and we also have to start thinking about a plan for the future,” said Chandler.
