When our community needs support, we're proud to lend a helping hand. ❤️

Our Rolla McDonald's recently had the opportunity to provide meals to the emergency first responders working tirelessly at the scene of a commercial structure fire.

While they were focused on keeping our community safe, we were grateful for the opportunity to make sure they had a meal during a challenging day.

To all the firefighters and emergency personnel who put themselves on the front lines to protect others, thank you for your courage, dedication and service. We're grateful for all you do for our community!

Wyman school showed up ready for a fun filled day of fire prevention. First and foremost a huge thank you to the staff for letting us spend the day with all your students and getting them as pumped up as possible and then sending them back to you. They may of gotten into a little bit of water spray but hey, life is too short to spend the day without playing in a fire hose stream. It’s a great day to be a Bulldog!!!

Re: Commercial Structure Fire

On October 7, 2026, at approximately 5:35 p.m., the City of Rolla Fire & Rescue responded to a report of a commercial structure fire located at 307 North Elm Street.

On arrival, fire crews reported heavy smoke and fire showing from the roof eaves. An “all call” protocol was enacted to request all available off duty Rolla City Firefighters to respond to the fire call. A mutual aid request was made to Rolla Rural Fire Protection District to assist with on scene operations. Doolittle Fire Protection District and St. James Fire Protection District were requested to move up to the Rolla City Fire stations to provide emergency coverage for the city.

The Rolla Police department provided scene security and control while going above and beyond with assisting the operations where possible. Phelps Health EMS personnel were also instrumental in assisting with on scene logistics while on standby for medical needs. Rolla McDonald’s provided food for the on-scene emergency responders. “The support given by our mutual aid agencies and local businesses are instrumental in achieving positive outcomes with emergencies of this size and scope,” said Rolla Fire Chief Jeff Breen. “I appreciate the skill and hard work of our personnel and the assistance provided by our partnering agencies.”

The fire was brought under control at approximately 10:00 p.m., and no injuries were reported. Fire personnel remained on scene throughout the night providing scene security and safety. The fire cause determination remains under investigation.

The City of Rolla Fire & Rescue would like to thank the Rolla Police Department, Phelps County Sherriff’s Office, Missouri S&T Police Department, Rolla Rural Fire Protection District, Doolittle Fire Protection District, St. James Fire Protection District, Phelps Health EMS, Phelps County Central Communications, Rolla Municipal Utilities, Rolla Public Works Department, and Rolla McDonald’s for their assistance.

No better way to spend the day than with a visit to Truman Elementary School to learn all about fire safety and what it’s like to be a firefighter. We would like to thank the school staff for letting us spend the day with your kids and getting them just a little extra hyped up for the day and possibly a little bit wet. It’s a great day to be a Bulldog.
