Rossville Helps With St. Marys Fire (updated)

From KSNT.com

    According to the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office, the fire broke out at approximately 5:15 a.m. at 510 Mission. St Marys Fire, St Mary’s Police, Rossville Fire, Pottawatomie County EMS and the Pottawatomie County Sheriffs Department all were called in for mutual aid to assist.
   According to St. Marys fire chief Dan Marstall, two adults were sleeping in the upper floor of the 1 and 1/2 story home when they were awoken by the smell of smoke or fire, he presumed. Marstall said the pair began yelling for help and neighbors heard them and were able to rescue the couple by getting a ladder up to the 2nd story window and getting the couple out of the home. Marstall says the fire is believed to have originated in the bathroom area, but no official cause or damage estimate was available as of 9 am. There were no injuries and the fire was brought under control in less than an hour.
