First responders on the scene reported seeing heavy fire from the second story of the building. Crews battled heavy smoke and fire conditions on the second floor, but they say they contained the blaze within 30 minutes.

WIFR-TV CBS 23 ROCKFORD Abandoned Danville church destroyed in three-alarm fire VIDEO: An abandoned church in Danville was reduced to rubble overnight after a three-alarm fire broke out. The church was at Fowler Avenue and Clyman Lane and the fire started around 9 p.m. It was an all-hands-on-deck situation for the Danville Fire Department, and they needed even more help from the surrounding area. "Our Chief arrived on the scene first, saw smoke, realized that it was the church, which is a large structure," said Captain Neil Yelenick. "Immediately called for a second alarm, which brings in another crew, and with the workload and the humidity last night, it escalated to a call back to the entire department." A total of 35 firefighters were needed to fight the fire, and Chief Aaron Marcott said nearly all resources of the DFD were exhausted over the next 12 hours.

VIDEO: More than 1,500 cars burn in massive junkyard fire in Southern California PHOTOS: At least 1,500 vehicles, if not more, inside of an estimated 20-acre junkyard in the Antelope Valley burned in a three-alarm blaze Thursday. Firefighters responded to reports of a "yard fire" at 421 W Ave I off of Sierra Highway in Lancaster just after 3 p.m., L.A. County Fire confirmed to KTLA. In video of the blaze posted to social media, thick plumes of black smoke were seen coming from the location and drifting over the nearby Sierra Highway. Initially, fire officials reported that an estimated 300 crushed vehicles were on fire, though that number continued to rise as the flames spread. Aerial footage from Sky5 showed several explosions, as well as flames jumping the fence causing firefighters to quickly extinguish small vegetation fires. KTLA-TV CW 5 LOS ANGELES New study in North Carolina hopes to learn more about the connection between PFAS and firefighters' health VIDEO: According to the Environmental Protection Agency, PFAS (or forever chemicals) can be found in almost every American's bloodstream. Based on your career, though, you could be more exposed than others. The National Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study is starting its research into PFAS and firefighters' health in North Carolina. Researchers from Duke and NC State are leading the study, hoping to follow firefighters throughout their careers to analyze how PFAS are affecting them. PFAS can be found in certain types of firefighting foam and are used to make firefighters' uniforms water and oil-repellant. "The occupation of firefighting in 2022 was named a known carcinogen," researcher Bryan Ormond with NC State said.
