The Taylorville Fire Department spent a good portion of Saturday fighting a fire on the east side of town. The road was blocked off for several hours as the firefighters battled the fire and heat.  The fire occurred on East Franklin.  There were no injuries reported in the house, however, the fire department reported that one firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion but is recovering.  The Taylorville Fire Department also assisted in a structure fire Saturday morning in Stonington.
