A five-alarm fire at abandoned St. Louis warehouses killed one person, destroyed buildings, and prompted evacuations.
A massive five-alarm fire erupted in downtown St. Louis on Friday, November 28, 2025, at abandoned warehouses near Gratiot and 2nd Streets, part of the historic Crunden-Martin complex.
The blaze, which began around 2:30 a.m., spread to four buildings, one of which collapsed, with flames reaching 200 to 300 feet high.
Over 200 firefighters battled the fire, which was fueled by combustible materials and strong winds, causing nearby electric lines and railroad tracks to ignite.
Several people believed to be unhoused individuals were rescued with no injuries reported.
The fire, expected to burn into Sunday, disrupted traffic, caused power outages, and prompted evacuations.
The cause remains under investigation, and officials are assessing damage to the site, which was slated for redevelopment.
