Fire guts Du Quoin home after extension cord accident
A Du Quoin couple returned from work to find their single story home gutted by fire. Fire Chief Fronek said the blaze, which began when an extension cord under a hide bed leg failed to start, caused major interior damage and self-extinguished after exhausting oxygen in the structure. The Johnsons were away at 5:30 am and returned about 4:20 pm.
