Structure fire closes 7th Street


(From the Joplin Fire Department)

At 7:24 AM July 12, 2022, Joplin 911 was notified of a structure on fire in the 1800 block of W. 7th. 

A large column of smoke was visible while units were responding. First arriving units found a vacant building fully involved with partial roof collapse. 

A defensive fire attack was started and the fire was placed under control in approximately 30 minutes. 

7th Street had to be shut down for a period of time due to supply lines being across the road. There were no injuries to firefighters.

The fire is under investigation by the Joplin Fire Marshal and the Joplin Police Department. Assistance was provided by METS Ambulance, Joplin Police Department, and Joplin Public Works.
