LESLIE, Mo. - At this time there is not a single fire department in Franklin County that does not have crews out battling brush fires, leaving volunteer fire departments tapped for resources.
At approximately 5 p.m. this evening Beaufort/Leslie fire initially responded to the area between Leslie and East Avenue for a brush, which was quickly upgraded to a first alarm structure fire after it quickly spread to two neighboring homes.
The National Weather Service in St Louis has issued a Red Flag Fire Warning for wind and low relative humidity which is in effect from noon today until 5 PM CST this afternoon.
Beaufort, Mo. - Extreme dry conditions combined with wind speeds steady at 20 mph and gusting up to 40 and 50 mph did not prevent one individual from lighting a small fire earlier this afternoon, which lead to Beaufort/Leslie Fire crews having to respond after the fire quickly began to spread.
Residents have continued to ignore warnings about burning, particularly with gusty winds over the past week, keeping volunteer fire departments busy across Franklin County. (Full story below. We also spoke with Franklin County on the number of brush fire just in the past week.)
New Haven, Mo. - Shortly after 12 p.m. this afternoon Washington Fire Department responded for a brush fire in the area of Enochs Know Road and the rock quarry, just west of Highway 185.
Two additional fire departments, Beaufort/Leslie and New Haven also responded to assist. Watch live report below for more details.
Note: According to the National Weather Service winds were steady at 20 mph and gusting up to 30 mph at the time of the initial call.
Beaufort, Mo. - Saturday morning one person suffered minor injuries in a two vehicle head-on accident on Highway 185, approximately one-quarter of a mile south of Highway 50.
Beaufort/Leslie Fire and Gerald EMS responded at 11:40 a.m. to the vehicle crash that left Highway 185 shut down for approximately one hour as southbound traffic was diverted down Kenning Road.
