No injuries reported in Moberly basement fire

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

No injuries were reported after a fire was reported Friday in the basement of a Moberly home in the 800 block of South Williams Street.

A social media post from the Moberly Fire Department says firefighters were called at 9:49 a.m. and arrived a minute later. They found a fire in the basement involving a dryer with smoke and flames showing, the post says.

“Approximately 8 firefighters responded and worked quickly to bring the fire under control despite the heavy smoke conditions. Crews were able to contain most of the damage to the laundry room located in the basement area, preventing the fire from spreading to the rest of the home,” the post says.
