Several pets die in fire

GRAVOIS MILLS – No humans were injured in an early morning fire last Sunday but several pets were.

Last Sunday at 4:09 a.m., units from the Gravois Fire Protection District were dispatched to a reported residential structure fire on Mini Farm Drive.

Initial information received by dispatch indicated the fire was located in the basement of the residence.

The first unit arrived on scene at 4:28 a.m. and confirmed that all occupants were out of the house. They also reported light smoke showing from the basement and first floor of the structure.

Firefighters initiated an interior fire attack, however, challenging interior conditions made it difficult for crews to safely access the fire area.

Crews were withdrawn from the structure and a transitional fire attack was conducted through a basement window.
