Fire caused extensive damage to a house in Red Oak late Sunday evening. Firefighters from three departments battled the fire at 103 West Hammond Street. Red Oak Fire Chief John Bruce tells KMA News firefighters arriving at the scene at around 8:50 p.m. noticed smoke coming from the house. Then, flames shot from a second floor window. "Our fire department did an interior attack, where they go inside, and began suppression operations," said Bruce. "Once they got the roof vented, they were able to advance up to the second floor, and contain the fire to a second floor bedroom, and closet area. There's extensive smoke, and water, and fire damage on the second floor, and a lot of smoke and water damage to the first floor. Unfortunately, it looks like this will be a total loss on this residence." Bruce says occupants in the house and surrounding properties evacuated safely.
