Peoria firefighters plan to once again try foam mitigation to tackle an ongoing fire at the BioUrja ethanol plant - but the weather may be a problem.

Peoria Interim Fire Chief Shawn Sollberger said the work may be delayed until this morning's heavy blanket of fog clears.

Foam mitigation efforts are set to continue throughout the day. Demolition equipment is also set to start arriving Thursday, with the hopes of beginning demolition of the silos damaged in a May 11 grain bin explosion by Monday, May 30.
