Fire crews from Des Moines work to control a fire at the Younkers building in downtown Des Moines, Iowa early Saturday, March 29, 2014. The massive fire swept through a 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.
