The Trenton Fire Department responded to a fire on West 12th Street Thursday evening, with a shed destroyed in the blaze.
According to information provided by Firefighter Alex Lovell, the fire occurred at 705 W. 12th St., in a house owned by Tamara Babcock. When they arrived shortly before 8 p.m., firefighters found the shed, which was built to enclose a woodstove, fully engulfed in flames. It was a total loss, with no damage to the house, which had been being taken care of by visitors.
The report states that an improper flue had been installed and allowed the fire to spread to the structure, where it penetrated the shed roof.
Firefighters, including those from the Grundy County Rural Fire Protection District, were on the scene for about 30 minutes and were also assisted by the Trenton Police Department and the Grundy County Ambulance Service.
