QUEEN CITY, MO --  

An early morning fire left a Queen City home a total loss.

At 3:50 Saturday morning, the Queen City Fire Department responded to a mobile home fire at 201 Hischel Street. No one was living in the home at the time, but owner George Nolan had just remodeled and was getting ready to move in.
    
Assistant Fire Chief Carl Snider told KTVO that the home was fully engulfed within ten minutes. The State Fire Marshal said the cause of the blaze is undetermined and closed the investigation.

Revere MO had a rash of fires this past winter, several abandoned homes were set on fire, it turned out that theives were going in and taking anything of value and then torching the place to cover their tracks.....I'm not saying thats whats happening in Q.C. but its certainly not out of the realm of possibility........Just my two cents worth.

How Can This Case Be Closed

There are too many fires around here for this case to be closed. What about the abandoned house last week? Weren't some of the stolen cars burnt, as well?

Arsonist?

If I recall correctly this is the 2nd fire of this nature in Queen City in the last 2 weeks. Is there perhaps an arsonist on the loose? As I have family and friends in the Q.C. area I devoutly hope not!

sounds fishy

last Saturday a vacant home was destroyed by fire in queen city. a week later, on Saturday again, another vacant home was destroyed by fire. and the fire Marshall says its closed to investigation? i think its may be an arsonist. could be wrong but wont be surprised if there isn't another fire soon.
