Two firefighters treated for heat injuries in Hoyt fire

HOYT (KSNT) – Two firefighters were treated for heat-related injuries after responding to a structure fire in Jackson County on Wednesday.

According to the Hoyt Fire Department District #3, crews were called to the 12000 block of Q Road for reports of a structure fire involving an equipment building. Crews found a metal outbuilding that was fully engulfed in flames.

Fire crews started fighting the fire from inside the structure, but had to leave the building due to an impending roof collapse. The crews fought for several hours to make sure the fire was put out, according to the fire district.
