SUMMARY: In Webster County, a family is coping with the aftermath of a wildfire that destroyed their storage building, part of a series of fires in the area recently. The blaze started around 1:45 PM, spreading quickly due to dry conditions and strong winds, ultimately consuming approximately 10 acres. Fortunately, the family’s main home was saved thanks to their quick action using a garden hose to protect it. Despite the significant loss of belongings, the Biggers family expressed gratitude that their 80-year-old house remains intact. They are now seeking answers about the fire’s origin, as firefighters continue battling multiple blazes in the area.
