At approximately 2:00 p.m. today, the Adrian Fire Department was dispatched on a possible structure fire in the area of 1st and Virginia Street in Adrian. The Butler Fire Department was dispatched at the same time following the “automatic” mutual aid protocol set between the two fire departments. Fire units quickly arrived on the scene and determined the structure to be a detached garage located at 104 North Virginia Street. Fire suppression began and the fire was reported under control within minutes. Butler Fire Department responding units were cancelled after the fire was placed under control. The fire was accidental in nature and determined to be caused from a faulty flue pipe. Adrian Medical First Responders checked two subjects who stated that they had been exposed to the smoke coming from the garage. After evaluating the subjects, they both refused any further care.
The Adrian Fire Department was assisted by the Adrian Police Department, Bates County Sheriff’s Department, and the MO State Highway Patrol.
