Little Dixie Fire Protection District Responds to Large Building Fire Thursday Night
Around $125,000 in damages is estimated after a building caught fire at 18168 Audrain County Road 356 last night (Thursday).
Little Dixie Fire Protection responded to the Daniel Gingrich residence and found a large metal building about 50 feet by 100 feet fully involved in the fire and the roof collapsing inward.
The structure was a new building which was in the process of being opened for conditioning of wood pallets for the food industry.
An investigation found that a subject was inside welding and sparks ignited a nearby pile of wood which spread rapidly up the interior wall to the roof.
All occupants were able to exit the building safely.
The building and contents were a complete loss.
