The Jefferson City Fire Department (JCFD) responded to a storage building fire reported near the 2500 block C in Jefferson City.

The teams arrived around 1:38 am and discovered the installation very involved in the fire.

When the Firefighters began to attack the flames, helping the EMS of Cole County found a male occupant outside the building in a critical condition.

According to a press release, the man was taken to a local hospital before being transported to a burning center in St. Louis.

JCFD said he is in serious but stable condition after 10 am on February 17.

No fire hydrants were reported in the area, which led to the Cole County Fire Protection District to contribute two water tankers to help the ferry in water to extinguish the flames.
