ROODHOUSE - Roodhouse firefighters battled a destructive blaze on Monday that damaged a home at 1270 County Line Road, and the lives of two dogs trapped inside were lost. The fire call came in at 1 p.m. on Monday and appeared to begin in a nearby shed and spread to the house. The family also lost all the contents inside. The Roodhouse Fire Department has not yet released the cause of the fire. The White Hall Fire Department provided mutual support to combat the fire. The shed was described as a 12 x 12 to 12 x 14 shed behind the home and was located about 30 feet from the house. Fire officials said the wind blew the heat to the back side of the modular home and it then caught fire. There were not any injuries to people or firefighters in the incident.

When St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell announced his candidacy to replace Republican Josh Hawley as one of Missouri’s senators this morning, he entered a race that is likely to draw more national attention — and money — than other Missouri Senate races in recent history. That's because, according to University of Missouri - St. Louis political science Professor Anita Manion, the 2024 Senate map is looking tough for Democrats, which means that if there is even a scintilla of a chance a person with a D next to their name could unseat Hawley, donors are likely to pour resources into Missouri to try to make it happen.

When behind the wheel, know your surroundings. Go slowly and be very cautious in places like driveways where kids run around. Wear fitted, not loose, clothing. “Machines have shafts and moving parts,” Huelskoetter explains. “You don’t want to have loose sleeves or something that can get caught in that mechanism and cause a catastrophic injury.” Driving smaller vehicles: Children and young adults are often found whizzin
