Today just after 1200 the park Hills Fire Department received a walk in report of a building on fire just up the sreet from the station. Members were in the station from a previous call and 3760 immediately responded and was on the scene within minutes of the report. The building located on front street was last used as a residential care facility, but had been vacant for years. A second alarm was requested along with multiple tankers to supplement the hydrant water supply. Due to the size of the building and exposures of another building, addition alarms were requested. A 4th alarm was requested and with additional units the equivalent of our 5th alarm assignment was brought to the scene. Within 20 minutes the second and third floors collapsed into the first floor. Departments from multiple counties assisted and provided move ups to cover the county. Multiple master streams and aerials were used to extinguish the fire. During the initial size up it was also found that several brush fires had started between Rivermines Street and the railroad tracks. From the intense heat and winds.
The park Hills Fire Department would like to thank all assisting agencies that responded to this fire.
The building was confirmed to be vacant. There were no injuries reported.
We are aware that smoke will be visible for days. There is no danger from any smoldering fires in the basement. Heavy equipment was brought in to remove debris from the basement for extinguishment.
The Park Hills Fire Department would like to thank the Park Hills Domino's, the Leadington Hardeys, the Leadington McDonald's, and the Park Hills Harps for donations of water and food for all involved.
The fire is under investigation by the Missouri State Fire Marshall's office.

In Loving Memory of Firefighter James Hayes

UPDATED

It is with the deepest sorrow that we share the passing of one of our own. Volunteer Firefighter James Hayes lost his life yesterday due to injuries sustained in an accident at his place of employment.

James was more than a firefighter, he was a dedicated servant to this community, a teammate, and a friend. His commitment to protecting others reflected the very best of what it means to wear this uniform.

Our hearts and thoughts are with his wife Kara, their two daughters, his family members, and all those who loved him. We stand united as a fire family in this time of tremendous loss, wrapping his loved ones in the strength and support of our brotherhood.

James’s service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.

UPDATE

Donations for the family may be made to First State Comunity bank under the James Hayes benifit fund.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Allen's family and friends. He will be deeply missed.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Allen Stegall.
Allen was one of the original employees when the 911 Center opened its doors in 1993. Serving with dedication and unmatched expertise, he became the Center’s IT Director, ensuring the technology that keeps our community safe ran smoothly for decades.

Allen’s commitment, knowledge, and friendship touched everyone he worked with. His legacy will live on through the systems he built and the lives he impacted.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him during this difficult time.

✅ Avoid using fireworks while impaired by alcohol or drugs
✅ Only light fireworks outdoors in a clear, open area away from buildings, trees, and vehicles
