Firefighters have extinguished a house fire at 209 Bethal Road and are now working the remaining hot spots as of 11:15 p.m. Wednesday. Lebanon and Troy crews are assisting O’Fallon crews on scene. According to O’Fallon fire captain Frank Shewmaker, the fire started in a laundry room fuse box. The first floor of the two-story home was fully involved, and flames also got into the attic ceiling, Shewmaker said. The occupants of the house got out safely about 8:30 p.m., he said. Shewmaker said the fire caused “pretty significant damage to the house,” but there were no injuries.
