Large Shed Used As Residence Destroyed By Fire In Cantonment (With Photo Gallery)
December 3, 2021
Fire destroyed a large shed being used as a residence behind a home in Cantonment Friday morning.
Flames were high above the roof of the structure when the fire was reported just after 10 a.m. in the 200 block of Louis Street. The shed was a total loss. After the fire was extinguished, it was determined that the structure was being used as a residence.
There was no significant damage reported to the brick home on the same lot, and there were no injuries.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

I agree with Nikki
I agree that it’s a sad time with Christmas so close but hope that the people have family that will help them. Maybe they can let others know and we all can help.
Nothing wrong with living in a shed, tiny house or whatever. People can live in a mansion and it be a filthy mess, treat their family horrible! A home is what you make it.
Also, family members need to get close sometimes to help each other out!
I am thankful that there were no injuries or fatalities involved. It could have been a lot worse.
I agree with Nikki.
@Livinmolino. Remember, not everyone works to achieve the American dream, some expect something for nothing. The American dream is very much alive for those willing to put in the effort to better themselves.
So sorry for your loss during the holiday season. What is wrong with living in a shed? What about the shacks people lived in back in the old days when people appreciated what they had and took pride for what they had? Nobody said anything then . Times are hard for alot of people. You don’t know and shouldn’t judge. Leave that to the good man upstairs. People should be thankful that they are safe and youbshould be thankful that they have a roof over their head as I’m sure they were thankful for that and now it’s gone. Prayers for whoever lost this . God is always good !! Everything will work out in own time.
How many people do we have living in sheds? Sad comment on America, the land of opportunity.
Thought I smelled something besides the paper mill today.
