Just before midnight, crews were called to a report of a commercial structure fire. Paramedic McEntire, EMT Dooley, and Captain Lawler were on scene and arrived to find a restaurant with smoke coming from the interior. Branson MO Fire-Rescue with assistance from Western Taney County Fire Protection District and Southern Stone County Fire Protection District worked to identify the hazards and mitigate them.
Our crews respond to structure fires as a precaution for firefighters, in the event of an injury or medical emergency while fighting fire. Thankfully they were not needed tonight, and were able to return to station without incident.
