DEWEY, Ill. (WCIA) — On Saturday, the Sangamon Valley Fire Protection District was called to a structure in Champaign County that was completely on fire.

Crews used defensive tactics and promptly put out the fire. Following an investigation, it was concluded that the fire started accidentally due to an active burn pile combined with windy conditions.
