Collins Fire

A kitchen fire March 27 at a house on Collins Avenue caused damage but injured no one, Chief Kerry Hogan said Thursday.

It began above the stove near the microwave. The Richmond Heights Fire Department received the call at about 2:20 p.m.

Damage included some ruined cabinetry, he said.

Information about that incident and others last week follows. It was supplied by the Richmond Heights Fire Department. If you have questions about the blotter, email nate.birt@patch.com.

MAPLEWOOD > Fuel leaks from train • A train leaked diesel fuel for miles Tuesday morning as it passed through several St. Louis County municipalities, authorities said. No one was injured in the fuel spill, and it never caught fire, said Maplewood Fire Capt. Steve Koppel. No residents had to be evacuated, he said. Fire officials say it's unclear how much fuel spilled or where the leak began. The train had been going northeast when it stopped in Maplewood about 2:45 a.m. near Sutton and Pacific avenues. The fuel presumably had been leaking for miles, through towns that included Kirkwood and Webster Groves, although Koppel said he didn't know how far back the fuel spill began. The fuel was leaking from a rear engine. Union Pacific called a hazardous materials team to clean up the spill. The team managed to stop the leak, which was coming from a container that can hold as much as 3,800 gallons, Koppel said.

Owner of Destroyed MRH Family Dentistry Donates to Ryan Hummert Memorial Fund

Donna Clifford had planned to give a carved fireman and decorative fire truck to a Maplewood firefighter as thanks for fighting the fire that destroyed her home on Sutton Boulevard in January.

Fire Chief Terry Merrell called the gift generous and thoughtful. Since individual firefighters don't receive gifts, Merrell accepted the tokens of appreciation as a representative of the whole department.

"We'll display it in the firehouse now, but hopefully, someday when we build a new one, it will be a nice addition," Merrell said.

Clifford also gave Merrell a check for $1,500 for the Ryan Hummert Memorial Fund.
