Fire at Adrian CO-OP this evening

Around 8:30 this evening the Adrian Fire Department was summoned to the Adrian CO-OP south of town on the report of a fire in a building on the west side of the complex. Upon arrival, fire chief Gary Dizney reported fire coming from the south upper level of the fertilizer plant building above the maintenance shop.

Firefighters had the blaze under control in about 10 minutes.

The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined; it is thought that welding in the area earlier today may have caused the fire to smolder until until it erupted this evening when it was spotted by a passer by.

Last year, over the holiday weekend, there were two boating fatalities and two drowning deaths in Missouri.

The Highway Patrol reminds boaters not to let boating safety practices slide as the summer draws to a close. Remain vigilant and stay alert. Don’t become a victim.
