🚨 STRUCTURE FIRE – W HIGHWAY 🚒

At 10:26 PM, Monett Rural Fire District, along with our automatic aid partners, was dispatched to a reported structure fire on W Highway, north of Business 60.

MRFD Chief 1 arrived on scene and reported a fully involved storage building, approximately 15' x 40' in size.

City of Monett Fire Department Engine 1 arrived first, followed shortly by MRFD Engine 11. Crews quickly went to work and were able to contain the fire by 10:48 PM. Firefighters then began overhaul operations, and additional responding resources were canceled.
