HOUSE FIRE SPREADING FAST - DUENWEG FIRE DEPT HAS NO PROBLEM

SUNDAY AFTERNOON DUQUESNE HOUSE FIRE SPREAD FAST
• No injuries reported at this time
• Update from fire department is pending

(64801) -- This home is located in Duquesne so the responding fire department Duenweg Fire Department made quick work on this windy afternoon. You can see some of the firefighters in our LIVE! video responded without all their fire gear.

It’s always good to have back up on the way but these brave and devoted firemen didn’t slow down.

Mutual aid was requested from the Joplin Fire Department and the Redings Mill Fire Protection District. Mutual aid is an agreement where city to city they share services and help to support one another. This is even done across state lines in our area.

The address is 920 Walnut Ridge in Duquesne. The neighborhood is just a few blocks south of East 7th Street near Dollar General and Mason Woodard.

Thank you to Debs, Tara and Cathy for spotting what was happening and letting know, today you are Joplin News First.
