fire-2-2

A Vincennes  residence was destroyed over the weekend by fire. Units of the Vincennes City and Township fire departments responded to the fire location-the 16th Street home of Scott Ross and Marina Moore. Fire and smoke were coming from the residence by the time firefighters arrived on the scene. Both Ross and Moore were asleep when the blaze broke out and were alerted by their home smoke detectors and were able to escape safely. One firefighter was overcome by heat while battling the fire and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital for treatment. The home is being considered a total loss. A cause for the fire remains under investigation.
