Lake of the Ozarks mansion fire determined to be accidental

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A fire that burnt down a mansion last week at the Lake of the Ozarks has been determined to be accidental.

Mike O’Connell, of the Division of Public Safety, told ABC 17 News on Monday that the accidental fire began at an outdoor kitchen on the property.

No one was injured after a home caught fire Wednesday, Dec. 10, on Trillium Lane, according to a previous press release from the Lake Ozark Fire Protection District.

Previous reporting says firefighters were called at 1:23 p.m. and arriving first responders saw a home with “heavy fire” coming from the back of the building. The fire “rapidly advanced” because of strong winds.

The home was considered a total loss.
