Daily Gazette, Sterling, Ill.

Sept. 07--MILLEDGEVILLE -- A fire that broke out around 2 p.m. Thursday at the Milledgeville Farmers Elevator turned into a weekend project.

Apparently, about 475,000 bushels of corn, which had been stored in the elevator for 4 to 7 years, had been smoldering for months before the grain finally overheated, Tom Korte said Monday evening.

Hydrants in Conn. City Not for Fires

Firefighter Safety - Thu, 09/09/2010 - 01:47

The Day, New London, Conn.

Sept. 08--MONTVILLE -- For the second time in about three weeks, a fire has devastated buildings in an area of town where although hydrants were within reach of the scene, they were not equipped to suppress a blaze.

This is because the hydrants -- traditional in appearance and seemingly waiting for a firefighter to connect a hose to its nozzle in an emergency -- were not built for that purpose, according to an official with the Southeastern Connecticut Water Authority, the private entity that now owns the hydrants.
