On Tuesday
Morning, February 21, 2006, The Danbury Fire Department answered the
call for Mutual Aid from the Anthon Fire Department. There were
approximately a dozen fire departments that assisted with the call. The building is a
total loss.
Anthon lost one of its
businesses and a beautiful old building this morning due to a structural
fire this morning.
Fire completely destroyed the old Hamann-Sauser building which is
currently home to D & K Implement, across the street from the post
office and the fire station.
Smoke was reported that at 6:00 a.m. At that time, fire was already
pouring out of the north windows.
Eyewitness reports are that fire departments from Danbury, Oto, Pierson,
Bronson, Smithland, Cushing, Hornick, Correctionville, Moville, Lawton
and Anthon arrived on the scene to fight the blaze. The fire departments
worked to keep the fire under control but the building was a total loss.
Flames also spread to an adjoining structure that contained tires, which
likewise ignited.
At this time no injuries have been reported.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
