Morning fire destroys home near Carl Junction

KSNF/KODE — Crews from two fire departments battle a morning blaze.

Just before 10:30 this morning, the Carl Junction and Galena fire departments responded to this residence on West Belle Center Road.

When they arrived on scene, they found the home fully engulfed.

The fire also burned about a half-acre of grassland.

No one was injured in the fire.

Carl Junction fire chief Joe Perkins says the fire is believed to be accidental in nature.

Due to dry conditions, he’s asking everyone to not do any outdoor burning.
