A massive fire in Bradfordton shut down a portion of Illinois 97 late Friday afternoon.
Just before 3:30 p.m. Friday, the Springfield Fire Department responded to a general alarm for reported flames coming from a grain elevator building in the 4400 block of West Jefferson Street. While en route, 911 informed firefighters that it received multiple calls about the fire.
Local firefighters reported heavy smoke visible in the sky from several miles away. Arriving at the scene, they found a 100-by-40 wood frame commercial building of a grain elevator business that was three stories tall on its east side and one story on its west side. Upon arrival, the three-story side was fully involved and caving in toward the one-story side, according to Springfield Fire Chief Brandon Blough.

“A plant-based diet should be an inclusionary diet of plants rather than an exclusionary diet of animal products,” says Eric Helms, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., a steroid-free bodybuilder and a nutrition and exercise researcher who has been eating a high-protein plant-based diet for almost ten years.
David Katz, M.D., M.P.H., the founding director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, uses the term plant-predominant.
