CHRISTOPHER, IL (KFVS)-

A Heartland community is left in shock after a well-known landmark goes up in flames. Firefighters were called to the First Baptist Church just before 4:30 Monday morning. Fire crews say the blaze started in the back of the building and spread forward in just a few hours.

Crews were back on scene Tuesday morning. Christopher Fire Captain Tim Crawford says crews are tearing down part of the wall so investigators can get inside and look around. He says the investigation will take a few days.

Jim and Phyllis Kirkpatrick just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Six decades ago, the happy couple stood outside the First Baptist Church smiling. For decades the Kirkpatrick's have lived just behind the church. But Monday morning they got a surprise wake up.

"Got up and went to the door and they told us the fire was out there," Jim Kirkpatrick said.  

(KFVS) - The Illinois Department of Health says National Influenza Vaccination Week will be December 4 through 10.

The national observance was established to highlight the importance of influenza vaccinations and encourage more people to be vaccinated after the holiday season, into January and beyond.

“Getting vaccinated is the single best way for people to protect not only themselves against flu, but their loved ones as well,” said Illinois Department of Public Health Acting Director Dr. Kenneth Soyemi.  “The flu season typically runs from October to May, with the peak around January, so get vaccinated today before all the holiday parties and family gatherings.”

The IDPH says one of the biggest myths about the flu is the person gets the flu from a flu shot. They say the influenza vaccination cannot give you the flu because the flu shot contains killed viruses, and the nasal spray has weakened viruses that cannot cause illness.
