At approximately 1:20 a.m. on October 5, 2026, Southern Stone County Fire Protection District (SSCFPD) and Branson Fire Department crews responded to a two-alarm structure fire on Horizon Ct. in Branson West.

Upon arrival, first-in fire crews immediately began an aggressive fire attack. It was initially reported that someone may still be inside the residence. Firefighters quickly conducted a thorough search of the structure and confirmed that no one was inside.

The residence and a nearby vehicle were completely destroyed by the fire.

The cause of the fire is undetermined and is under investigation at this time.

SSCFPD would like to thank the Stone County Sheriff’s Department and Southern Stone County Ambulance District for their assistance during the operation.
