Carelessness blamed for Rubio Bridge fire in Washington County
A fire at the 310-foot Rubio Bridge on the Skunk River was caused by careless use of fire on the bridge floor, not arson. Firefighters reported 7:19 a.m. as embers reignited after a farmer saw people fishing nearby and tried to stamp out a fire. The span, built in 1904 and on the National Register, was slated for teardown due to instability with no arrests and plans to raise about $1 million for rebuilding.
