St. Louis, MO – Fire crews in St. Louis have spent several days battling a massive warehouse blaze after flames tore through the historic Crunden-Marten Warehouses early Friday morning. The fire began just after 3:00 AM on November 28, 2025, and quickly escalated into a general alarm that drew more than 200 firefighters from across the region.
According to the St. Louis Fire Department, the blaze swept through multiple interconnected buildings within the long-vacant complex, creating dangerous, fast-moving conditions fueled by deteriorated interiors and aging construction. Crews worked across several structures as fire repeatedly traveled in unpredictable patterns, forcing firefighters to operate defensively while preventing further spread.
Firefighters have remained on site through the weekend, continuing to extinguish hotspots across the expansive, abandoned property. The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation.
According to investigators, interviews with individuals familiar with the site revealed that one person who was last seen inside the warehouse complex is currently unaccounted for. The individual is known to frequent the area where the fire originated. The ATF and St. Louis Fire Department investigators are conducting a coordinated search in the section of the property where the person was reportedly last seen. No additional information about the missing individual has been released.
Officials expect suppression and search operations to continue until the scene is fully stabilized. Anyone with information about the fire or the unaccounted-for individual is urged to contact authorities.
