Fire heavily damaged a popular bar and grill in Southern View on Friday morning.
Springfield Assistant Fire Chief Julie Plunk said crews responded to several calls of smoke at about 9 am at the Curve Inn.
Plunk said the heaviest fire was in the beer garden area with flames spreading into the bar and causing a partial collapse of the roof.
She said strong winds contributed to the fire’s spread.
No injuries were reported.
Crews remained on the scene throughout the day to overhaul debris and to monitor hot spots.
Plunk said the cause is not known but is under investigation.
