At 11:19 a.m., Wednesday April 1, the Clinton Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a structure fire at 210 East Ohio St. Upon arrival, Firefighters reported heavy fire and smoke conditions at the rear of the residence. A second and third alarm was requested for additional personnel to respond.
The fire started on the exterior patio area and quickly burned up the exterior wall and into the first floor portion of the residence and into the attic space. Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the fire on the first floor and exterior and then began trying to get into the attic area.
Firefighters encountered zero visibility and high heat conditions on the second floor but were able to make entry into the attic space and begin extinguishing the fire in the attic.
Firefighters were on scene until approximately 4:30 p.m., extinguishing hot spots. The residents were not home at the time the fire started and the Clinton Fire Department reported no injuries to any Fire Department personnel.
The cause of the fire is under investigation with the assistance of the Missouri State Fire Marshal’s office.
