COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

An Eldon business is considered a total loss after it caught fire on Sunday, according to a Tuesday press release from the Eldon Fire Department.

The release says crews were called to 705 East 5^th Street and saw flames coming from a side of the building when they arrived at 2 p.m. Sunday.

The release says crews and equipment were delayed “because of barricades across the road at the end of 5^th street.” 

Two people were injured and treated at the scene, the release says. About 300,000 gallons of water was used. Crews cleared the scene at 8:30 p.m.

The company shared images of the damage to its Facebook page on Monday.
