At 9:30 Sunday morning the La Broquerie Fire Department was dispatched to a small pump house on fire.

Fire Chief Alain Nadeau explains they were dispatched to a property about half a mile south of Marchand on Wells Road.

"It was a small pump house on fire in the middle of a corral system. It was pretty much gone when we got there. It's a very small building where they have the pump inside for corral systems so the pump doesn't freeze."

Nadeau estimates the damage at approximately $1,000. He says the cause of the fire is thought to have been a heater inside the structure, which caught on fire. There were no injuries.

Crews were on scene for about an hour.
