The Pettis County Fire Protection District Number One responded to two fires over the weekend.

The first fire was reported near a residence on North Heard Avenue in Sedalia. Multiple outbuildings were burning near the residence. The Sedalia Fire Department assisted with mutual aid to help battle the blaze.

Both outbuildings were deemed a total loss and the residence suffered heavy smoke and fire damage. 25 personnel responded to the scene, with two reporting injuries, with nothing serious. Fire personnel were on scene for more than four hours.

The second fire was reported at a structure on Dexter Drive. When crews arrived the majority of the residence was involved in the fire.

The neighbors reportedly heard a large popping and crackling of the fire. The neighbors were able to help assist the homeowners out of the residence as authorities arrived. The homeowners were transported to separate hospitals for their injuries.
