“Barn Fire” Extinguished in Montreal

The State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of what was initially reported as a large barn fire in the Montreal area.

Mid-County Fire Chief Scott Frandsen says the call to the location on Hadaya Drive off Trawl Hollow Road was received on Tuesday.

“We got down there and found approximately probably 30 by 50 metal building. It was fully involved. It collapsed. It had an RV inside the building. There was another smaller RV outside the building which was burning. We got that put out right away and then a horse trailer that had some stuff stored in it. We got that put out.”

The blaze was kept from reaching some other nearby structures and there were no injuries reported.

Providing mutual assistance on the scene were personnel from the Tri-County, Hazelgreen and Sleeper-Stoutland districts while Osage Beach provided move-up to cover any other Mid-County calls
