Seasons Drive Home Declared 'Total Loss' Following Fire
GODFREY — Neighbors quickly helped evacuate residents from a home in the 1200 block of Seasons Drive in Godfrey after noticing smoke coming from the back of the house on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025, prompting a large firefighting response. The fire, which began in a home on Seasons Drive, spread to the attic, and sparked Godfrey Fire Protection District Chief Eric Cranmer to call a box alarm. The first alarm was followed by a second alarm due to the severity of the blaze. When firefighters arrived, all residents and neighbors had been safely evacuated. Chief Cranmer said the home where the fire originated was "a total loss." He added that a propane tank or tanks may have exploded after the initial fire, which extended the fire’s reach. A neighboring home sustained significant damage to its siding and one side of the structure. Ameren Illinois restored electricity to that residence by installing a new meter, and those residents are expected to remain in their home. Cranmer said
