Fire on Crawford Street
Saturday, July 30, 2016
Fort Scott firefighters work to cut through the roof of a residence in the 600 block of Crawford Street in order to get a fire hose into the house and battle a fire that broke out late Friday morning in the upstairs portion of the residence. Several local emergency units responded to the fire, including the FSFD, Mercy EMS, the Fort Scott Police Department and Bourbon County Sheriff's Office. The residents were not home at the time the fire broke out, but arrived on the scene later. No further details were available as of press time. Deputy Fire Chief Dave Bruner said a full report on the fire would not be available until Monday.
