The Owensville Fire Protection District responded to four separate incidents within a 24-hour period spanning Monday and Tuesday.
These incidents included a hay bale fire, a non-dwelling structure fire, and two vehicle crashes, as reported by the district via its official Facebook page.
The first call came at approximately 5:00 p.m. on Monday, when the Fire Protection District was dispatched to assist Cuba Fire in managing a fire involving 150 hay bales.
Shortly thereafter, at approximately 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, crews were called to respond to a fire at a single-story home under construction located in the 400 block of Mosel Way.
The district’s fire chief arrived on scene within seven minutes, finding the structure approximately 50% engulfed in flames and with a partially collapsed roof.
The incident was subsequently upgraded to a second-alarm fire, necessitating the deployment of additional personnel to the scene.
Following an aggressive exterior attack, the fire was successfully brought under control, with crews remaining on scene to conduct extensive overhaul operations.
Approximately 30 minutes later, at around 6:00 a.m., the district responded to a vehicle crash in the 3000 block of Peaceful Valley Road, in which minor injuries were reported.
The final incident occurred at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, when crews responded to another vehicle crash in front of a local McDonald’s location, with no serious injuries reported among those involved.
The Owensville Fire Protection District extended its gratitude to all mutual aid partners who assisted throughout these incidents, including Owensville EMS, Beaufort-Leslie Fire Protection District, Belle Fire Protection District, Bland Fire Protection District, Gerald-Rosebud Fire Protection District, Hermann Area Fire Department, and Cuba Fire.
