Fire damages downtown Trenton

A main street fire has destroyed a couple of 19th century buildings in downtown Trenton, in northwest Missouri. The fire has destroyed a barber shop, a tanning salon and a church, among other structures. It also badly damaged a vacant storefront. A representative from the state fire marshal’s office is trying to find the cause. No injuries were reported in the blaze, although one pet died in an apartment above the tanning salon.
