Multiple Crews Respond to Fire in Wilson County

 

A detached garage, shed and contents are damaged in a fire in rural Wilson county.

 

According to the Neodesha Fire Department, crews responded to a report of a structure fire with smoke showing at a farm southeast of Altoona late last week. Firefighters found a detached garage and shed on fire with two vehicles inside. Crews were able to put the fire out before it reached two large fuel tanks directly behind the structure. Extreme heat from the two burning vehicles and structural collapse of the garage plus flames extending into the attic space made the fire hard to put out. Despite these factors, department members and firefighters from Wilson County Rural Fire and Altoona Fire were able to help bring the fire under control in about 15 minutes. No one was injured in the incident.
