But it seemed sketch and FF style. [/quote] Atlanta... Homeless camp fire set off a bunch of pallets hot burning plastic pipe. [/quote]
Original Message
Emergency crews have been forced to close all lanes of I-70 westbound at the Benton Curve in Missouri over concerns of damage to a bridge in the area.
Police said a fire was reported overnight at a homeless camp under the I-70 bridge in that area. Fire crews were able to put that fire out; however, a body was found under the bridge after that incident.

Police said engineers are now concerned the heat from that fire may have structurally damaged that bridge. As a result, all inbound lanes of I-70 have been closed before 23rd Street, and traffic is being rerouted by the Missouri Department of Transportation.
