Fire

It's almost certain to be severely windy in many parts of Missouri and Illinois early next week and that could mean a big problem.

Northeast Missouri and west-central Illinois have an elevated fire danger warning for Thursday.

If you need to burn anything later this week in Missouri, you really shouldn't and there are very good reasons why.

A Missouri fire department was responding to a fire Friday night only to learn that blaze now involved an explosion. Once they arrived, they learned a Missouri home had exploded and as of now, no one knows exactly why or who might have been in the building.

You wouldn't think this would be an issue near the start of November, but with our weather patterns being odd lately, it certainly is. Be warned that there is an elevated fire danger in Missouri today.

Monday would not be a good day for a cookout near the woods in Missouri as the state is being warned of an 'elevated fire danger' due to three different conditions which will be present.

If you didn't already know that you need to be careful if you make the decision to burn fall leaves, there's a helpful reminder thanks to a video shared by a Missouri man who nearly torched himself along with the dead leaves.

A sad story in Missouri has become even more tragic. There are now 3 fatalities resulting from a home explosion in Wyatt, Missouri this past week.

The world uses the word "hero" to describe characters on movie screens. The word is really meant for people like a Missouri dad who saved 9 kids from a house fire recently while he was on fire himself.

We can all laugh about it now, but there were some tense moments when a Missouri man tried to fill a butane lighter and created a fireball instead.
