3-Alarm fire in Rockford, 9-2-20 (more)
Excerpts from WIFR.com:
One of Rockford’s most historic churches, the former Metro Christian Center, was completely destroyed in a fire on Wednesday night. The building had been abandoned for years and had been condemned for several months. Many of its doors and windows were boarded up, and there was no electricity inside. The Rockford Fire Department has launched an arson investigation to determine the cause of the blaze.
The fire engulfed the structure rapidly, sending thick plumes of smoke into the sky over downtown Rockford. Firefighters arrived quickly, but due to the wooden construction and the presence of asbestos on the roof, they were unable to enter the building. As a result, crews focused on controlling the fire from the outside. The estimated damage is around $300,000.
Throughout the night, firefighters worked alongside demolition teams to bring down the weakened structure and ensure all hot spots were extinguished. Despite their efforts, the church could not be saved, marking the end of a long-standing landmark in the city.

There are many shapes of metal anchors, such as Y-shaped, V-shaped, T-shaped, S-shaped, etc. (see Figure 1). Metal anchors are refractory castables, refractory plastics and refractory spray coatings used to support and fix thinner liners. Which shape of metal anchor to use depends on the structure of the lining. The shape of the Ceramic Anchor is shown in Figure 2. The upper and lower ends must be flat, and the remaining 4 sides are toothed to increase the occlusal area and friction with the lining body, and play a role of suspension and support
