This Saturday morning around 8 a.m., multiple first responders rushed to the scene of a shed/barn fire located at the intersection of Old Agency Road and Cliffland Road in Ottumwa. Fire crews quickly set up operations, using water pumped from a hydrant at E. Main Street and Merrouge Avenue to combat the flames.
The firefighters faced tough conditions as they made their way up a hill with heavy gear, navigating through muddy terrain left behind by recent rain. According to an Ottumwa firefighter, the shed/barn was primarily used for storage.
Fortunately, there were no injuries reported from this incident. As the situation develops, residents are encouraged to stay tuned to Ottumwa Radio for the latest updates.
