A century-old downtown building in the western Iowa community of Missouri Valley was destroyed by fire Monday morning. Fire struck the Willow Creek Bar on Highway 30. Firefighters were called when an employee of a neighboring business saw kitchen workers running away from the burning bar. When fire crews arrived, the building was already fully engulfed. No injuries are reported. Missouri Valley fire officials say the blaze may have started in the kitchen but the state fire marshal’s office has been called to determine the exact cause.
