This is a fundraising event for a brother of mine, wife. She has been diagnosed with lung cancer, and they can use all the help they can get. He is a member of the Hayti Fire Dept., and they are hosting this to help them out; they are selling Boston butts and having a raffle. Let’s show some love and support for our brother in a time of need!

News Release
Published by the Public Affairs Officer

Steele Fire Department was dispatched at 11:39 PM to South Pemiscot Central Elementary School after a passerby reported what appeared to be a possible fire.

On arrival, crews encountered multiple downed power lines across the roadway and significant storm damage to the structure. A large section of the roof had been compromised due to severe weather. During size-up, firefighters located a broken natural gas line at the rear of the building that was actively burning, with heavy flames present.

Due to the hazards involved and the extent of the incident, mutual aid was requested. Cooter Volunteer Fire Department , Hayti Fire Department, and Caruthersville Fire Department responded quickly. Working together, crews were able to contain the fire to the immediate area and prevent further extension into the structure.

While operations were ongoing at the school, Steele Fire were dispatched at 1:15 AM to Liberty Street for a downed and burning power line. With Steele apparatus committed to the school incident, Hayti and Caruthersville FD, already in the area, handled that call without delay.

At 3:08 AM, Steele was requested for mutual aid by Cooter Fire Department to County Road 559 for a fully involved structure fire. Caruthersville Fire Department also responded. Crews assisted in suppression efforts alongside responding departments.

Steele Fire Department would like to thank all responding fire agencies for their assistance and quick response throughout the night. We also appreciate the support from the Steele Police Department and the Pemiscot County Sheriff’s Office. The coordination and work across multiple incidents is appreciated by our department and the community.
