Rivers Pointe Fire Protection District Chief Richard Pender said firefighters were called to the scene at 9:21 p.m. on Wednesday. St. Charles County, St. Louis County, and other agencies also assisted Rivers Pointe Chief Pender said.
Pender said it was 17 degrees during the fire on the outside and the wind was blowing right on the Mississippi River.
“The conditions were really cold, and the wind also made it very difficult,” he added.
