Emergency responders respond to Head Start alarm call

Posted

Tony Yarbor, an emergency medical technician with the Owensville Area Ambulance District hands out blankets to Gasconade County Head Start staff and parents to keep children warm this past Thursday after a fire alarm  around 11:30 a.m. forced the evacuation of the facility on Commercial Drive. Children were sent home for the rest of the day after finishing their lunch. An odor was detected inside the building by members of the Owensville Fire Department. Chief Jeff Arnold said no sign of fire or smoke was present in the building after conducting a walk-through inspection using thermal-imaging sensors to check for heat sources. It was one of several unfounded calls for commercial fire alarm sounding in the area in recent weeks following a change in the weather from warm and dry to cool and wet conditions.
