Police chief's lit cigarette set nursing home on fire

A Missouri police chief’s lit cigarette was the cause of a fire that destroyed a local nursing home over the summer, an official report has found. In the early morning hours of August 7, 2025, the Vienna Point residential care facility went up in flames. Photos taken by the Vienna Fire Protection District showed a bright orange blaze burning through the building’s roof as smoke billowed through the dark sky.

First responders were able to get everyone out of the building unharmed but could not save the structure.
