Fire destroys a home in downtown Meta, displacing family of seven

A small community in Osage County comes together to help a family who lost their home in a fire. Meta Fire and Rescue Chief Kenny Helton says it was around 4:30 on Wednesday afternoon when crews were called to a residential structure fire in the 100 block of West Fourth Street in downtown Meta. Helton says crews arrived to find fire showing from the front porch, front door and second story of a house. Helton says the house was an original, older building with a basement and two stories. That, along with very windy conditions, made fighting the fire difficult.

Former ERDC Corrections Officer Trial Set

(Jefferson City, Mo.) A former Corrections Officer of the Eastern Reception Diagnostic and Correctional Center at Bonne Terre, Jacob Case, will stand trial in February over charges relating to the 2023 death of 38 year old Othel Moore Jr., an inmate at the Jefferson City Correctional Center.
