Repost from

Saturday afternoon in St. Louis, a four alarm fire ripped through an occupied four story apartment building near Union and Waterman in the Central West End. The first heavy fire was reported around 3:20 pm, and within minutes it pushed into the roofline.

By the time the street filled with sirens, crews were already committing big resources. Three aerial waterways went up to hit the fire from above, and roughly 80 firefighters were on scene as the response escalated.

Then winter showed up to make it worse. All that water turning instantly to ice meant the city warned people to avoid the area because streets and sidewalks were getting dangerously slick.

This is what a scene like that feels like from the curb.
Air that tastes like wet ash.
A steady roar you can feel in your chest.
Ladders rising like steel silhouettes.
Windows breathing smoke.
And firefighters moving with that calm focus that only shows up when everything is trying to go sideways.

No injuries were reported.

If you live in this city, you know these blocks. Today they look normal. Saturday they were lit by strobes, headlamps, and orange glow, with warming buses staged nearby for displaced residents.

St. Louis Fire Department, thank you for doing the work most people never want to see up close.

We are heartbroken to hear this news. Another Hero gone too soon. Our deepest sympathies to all involved. Thank you for your service. May you rest in peace. 💙💛

With deep respect and heavy hearts, the St. Louis Fire Department mourns the passing of Deacon, Communications Manager, and Retired Fire Battalion Chief Michael Richardson, an active member of our department who dedicated over thirty-eight years of service to the City of St. Louis after beginning his career in August 31, 1987.

Chief Richardson served under multiple Fire Chief administrations in a number of capacities, offering steady leadership, institutional knowledge, and mentorship to countless members throughout his career. His commitment to the department and to those he guided was evident in every role he fulfilled.

Chief Richardson’s watch ended Sunday, January 18, 2026.

We extend our sincerest condolences to Chief Richardson’s family and to all those whose lives were shaped by his service and guidance.

Funeral arrangements will be forthcoming and shared when available.
