In this Feb. 15, 2011 photo, the Younkers building in downtown Des Moines, Iowa is shown. A massive fire swept through the century-old building that was being renovated,  causing its upper floors to collapse and authorities to close down numerous streets in downtown Des Moines. No one was injured. Des Moines Fire Department spokesman Brian O'Keefe said it first got word of a fire at the former Younkers department store building at about 12:50 a.m. Saturday, and arrived to find flames leaping from the upper floors of the seven-floor building, which dates to 1899.
