Video by: The Telegraph. Video info: Alton Fire Department is investigating what set off an inferno Monday morning on Easton Street. No injuries were reported.
A raging fire Monday morning incinerated a homeowner’s dreams of moving to a house he was rehabbing, and saddened another man who visited that home for decades.
“I had finished the attic and I had three-fourths of the upstairs done,” said Jayson Smith, 47, of Godfrey, who bought the frame, two-story house at 1321 Easton Annex about a year ago. “All my tools were in there — and my brand new table saw.”
