St. Louis Metro

[Guest]

Tonight I just left my house, I was scanning Police and Fire as usual. St. Louis County Police was at Motel 6 on Bowels Ave in Fenton. They advised they had smell of smoke in the area and mulitple fire alarms were activated within the motel. This is only 2-3 miles from my house so I went to check it out. I made it to Fenton FPD house 2 as the 1st alarm was being toned out. "1325, 1334, 1314, 1345, 1914, 1327, 1303 respond 1st alarm smoke in the area with alarm activation. County police on scene advising smell of smoke in the area of Motel 6."

Here is Fenton 1325 responding

1325 and 1327 arrived on scene, nothing showing, but had an odor of smoke present. They requested all incoming units stage at the entrance. A room to room search of the motel was conducted, but nothing was located. The alarm was reset and all companies went inservice after 30 min on scene.

I was only able to get pictures of 2 units on scene.

I believe it is still up in the air Scott. Ben said he would let us know as soon as he sees or hears something.

I hope we find out soon!

I will be keeping everyone informed on any new stuff being purchased here. But for now, you all will have to settle with some misc. stuff from my files. Not much action around here. I missed one while i was at work yesterday.
