WEST FRANKFORT, IL – West Frankfort fireman were dispatched to Gossett road to a house fire yesterday afternoon around 1:30. A large explosion was reported
A MABAS box alarm was pulled for mutual aid. Fire departments from Benton, Zeigler, Ewing Northern, Carterville and Johnston City responded.
A representative from the West Frankfort Fire Department, stated that it was a 40 x 40 structure with an attached garage. It was a total loss. The amount of the loss can not be assessed because they were unsure of the value of the contents.
I need to put an editorial content here. There were posts on social media that was spreading a local business was on fire yesterday. Please do not post anything like that unless you now it is a fact.
I will wait until something is confirmed by authorities unless it is a life threatening situation before reporting.
