Many had to be rescued from apartment fire
A St. Louis County police officer and firefighters rescued six people from a burning apartment building in Lemay tonight.
Lemay Fire Protection District Chief Neil Svetanics credited the rescues with keeping the injuries relatively minor. He said three people were taken by ambulance to area hospitals.
The fire broke out in a bedroom in a second-floor apartment in the 4100 block of Grasso Avenue at 9:47 p.m.
Svetanics said firefighters rescued a married couple from the burning apartment, as well as other elderly residents from nearby apartments in the smoke-filled building. A county police officer, who was first to the scene, found a woman lying in a second-floor hallway and got her to safety.
Svetanics said the fire may have been caused by smoking and aided by oxygen equipment in the apartment. |

Fire Chief at an apartment complex I work at attributed a fire to faulty electrical box in the kitchen. He made that assessment while at the scene in a house full of smoke about 2 minutes after the fire was out.
Forensics team later determined it was a candle in the bedroom.
Pretty snappy assessment there Chief.
