Our Quad Cities News crew saw lightning flashes illuminate the scene as white smoke rose from the roof and firefighters used a ladder truck to reach the roof to vent the building with a chainsaw.

The fire started at 7:06 p.m. in the building across the street from the Shell station on U. S. Route 150, Coal Valley Police and Fire crews and firefighters from Coyne Center, Orion, and Blackhawk Fire Protections District, along with the Moline Second Alarmers, were at the scene. MidAmerican crews also arrived.
