Fire & rescue activity in Springfield?

Anyone know what was happening this evening (Wed 8/16) around the 7-11/Einstein Bros/gas station at Rolling Road and Old Keene Mill Road in Springfield this evening? We drove by and saw a LOT of fire & rescue vehicles, but no smoke (which seems like it wasn't a fire); we didn't stop to find out what was going on. I looked online for some kind of report or something, but couldn't find any info.

I saw where the Carpet Store was on fire but that is was able to be contained and extinguished quite rapidly.

Appreciate the reply... I suppose that was it, but if it was extinguished quickly, there seemed to be far too many vehicles for something like that. And there were a couple of fire engines IN the 7-11 parking lot right off of OKM (so it looked like nobody would have been able to turn off OKM into the 7-11); why would they be way out there for the carpet store further back? And we could see rescue vehicles around the gas station off of Rolling also.

A local contractor has been hiring illegals and then murdering them at the end of the job to avoid paying them. FCFD found bodies dumped near the site of this fire and believe there's a connection.

I'm not sure? I drove by all of the equipment there as well and I agree, there was ALOT. My thought was that the fire was in close proximity to the gas stations therefore maybe a potential for explosion(s). I just read about the fire on FB. It wasn't definitive / factual news. I suppose we will find out tomorrow, or on the 11:00 news this evening.
