A fire on April 6 destroyed a home in the 4900 block of Diamond Drive in High Ridge.
High Ridge Fire Chief John Barton said units were dispatched to the home at 3:55 a.m., arriving at 4:03 a.m., to find a single-wide mobile home fully engulfed in flames.
“The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire, as the owner was in the process of rehabbing it,” Barton said. “Investigators were unable to enter the building due to structural compromise and roof collapse. The cause of the fire is undetermined, and the building is a total loss.”
The fire was under control by 4:35 a.m., and the district’s investigator left the scene at 6:04 a.m.
High Ridge Fire was assisted on the scene by the Fenton and Cedar Hill fire protection districts.
