Elks Pallet Fire 8/17/2013

What officials are calling a “suspicious” house fire today (Aug. 19) did minor damage to a home on the western edge of the Festus Fire Department’s territory.

The lone occupant of the house in the 100 block of Jefferson Place, a middle-aged woman, exited the home without injury, Festus Fire Chief Chuck Boyer said. He said his department received a call about the fire at 1:18 p.m.

“The call came in as an ‘occupant trapped,’ but she was outside of the house when we got here,” Boyer said at the scene. “It was a fire in a back bedroom. Our firefighters knocked it down right away. There’s some damage to the back bedroom, mostly minor, and some smoke damage around the house.”

At 2 p.m., Boyer said firefighters were remaining on the scene to guard against flare-ups. He said the cause of the fire, which he indicated was suspicious, was under investigation.

“The state fire marshal is on his way right now,” he said.

Firefighters had the occupant’s St. Bernard, Buddy, tied to a car in the front of the house while EMTs tended to her. Neighbors took the dog to a nearby yard and gave him a bowl of water.

The neighbors said the occupant remained concerned about a cat she believed was still inside, but a firefighter told them he saw a black cat alive and well in the house.

He said his department received assistance from the Mapaville and Hematite fire districts and the Crystal City Fire Department.

Jefferson Place is narrow road about a mile west of West City Park in Festus, outside of the city limits.
