Whitesboro and Collinsville fire departments answered a call Tuesday morning for a structure fire at a duplex on Jordan Street in Whitesboro. A fire began in the attic while a contractor was exploring the space. Luckily, everyone in the building vacated the premises and the fire was contained to just the one space. Quick action from both departments enabled the fire to be extinguished before causing excessive damage to the rest of the home. Pictured above: With the fire safely and successfully put out, firefighters hose off attic insulation and debris before removing their safety gear.
