He said the firefighters confirmed in rapid fashion that there were not any occupants in the fire.
“The humidity was pretty bad, so our people took breaks and made a fairly quick hit on it,” he said. “We called in the State Fire Marshal to investigate and they are still investigating with the Alton Police Department.”
Fischer said he couldn’t state the cause of the fire at this point as the State Fire Marshal’s investigation continues.
