STURGIS, S.D. - Numerous fire agencies were called in to battle a massive fire at the Full Throttle Saloon east of Sturgis overnight Monday.

The call came in just after midnight, and crews first on the seen could see smoke coming from the roof of the main structure. Soon, the entire facility was engulfed in flames, which spread to nearby structures.

Heavy smoke rose into the early morning air as fire crews raced back and forth bringing water and supplies. The lack of water on the bar grounds prompted fire officials to call in tenders, which then had to go back and reload.

A call came out from those in charge to keep people out of the burning structure. Rather, fire crews worked to "surround and drown," or fight the fire from outside by surrounding it.

1. "First on the seen"????

Are there no copy editors?

2. Back when my mother worked as an assistant editor for the local paper in OH.

She was amazed at the number of people with journalism degrees that couldn't spell, use correct grammar, and couldn't tell the difference between there, their, and they're.
And English wasn't her native language.

3. Did you see the "One Direction" story that ran yesterday?

A girl in the audience held up a "Harry your so nice" sign and Harry Styles took the sign and corrected it with a Sharpie.
