ALTON — The Alton Fire Department responded to a structure fire Monday evening, July 7, 2025, on the 1100 block of East Sixth Street, arriving just before 6 p.m. to find heavy flames and smoke coming from the second story of the home. Firefighters quickly deployed their deck gun and hose lines, managing to extinguish most of the fire promptly. According to Alton Fire Chief Jesse Jemison, the fire appears to have been set deliberately and is believed to be connected to a domestic incident and an eviction. The Illinois State Fire Marshal was called to assist with the investigation. No injuries were reported at the scene. The Alton Police Department stated that additional information will be released on Tuesday.
The fire destroyed family photos, drawings from grandchildren, and memorabilia from World War I and II that belonged to Scott Surgener's grandfather and dad.
ALTON – Ward 4 Alderwoman Rosie Brown is asking community members to offer their support following the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old from Alton who died on July 4, 2025. Brown called on members of the Alton community to pray for the victim’s family at Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting. “Keep the Reed family in your prayers,” Brown said. “We just had another senseless killing of a teenager, innocent bystander in a home. A bullet went through the house and it was fatal.” Brown’s use of the word “another” in this case likely refers to the fatal shooting of Ra’niya Steward , a 13-year-old from Alton who died from injuries sustained in a shooting in February of 2024. Brown was among several community members who helped organize a candlelight vigil in support of Steward and her family, with more details available in this story on Riverbender.com . Brown also recently commended the Alton Police Department
