Clinton Fire Responds to 20 Calls Sunday

Snow on top of ice created a wild day for Clinton Fire crews.

 

The City department responded to 20 calls on Sunday as several inches of snow fell on top of ice and resulted in downed power lines that created all kinds of problems across the community.

 

In the 600th block of West Washington Street, downed power lines resulted in smoke or burning smells inside of four residences. 

 

A gas leak was reported and Ameren was called to shut the gas off to decrease the risk of an explosion.

 

A water leak was responded to at 1101 Kleemann Drive.

 

Crews responded to Warner Hospital for a report of a backup generator that had created smoke across their upper level. 

 

Clinton crews assisted with Wapella crews for a fire but were released from the scene shortly after their arrival. 

 

Because of multiple calls coming in at once, crews from Kenney, Wapella, Maroa, and Waynesville Fire all assisted. 

 

Clinton Fire officials also thank DeWitt County EMS, CenCom, and the police department for their assistance during the day as well.
