Fire Ravages Kansas City Gym, Investigation Underway

0:00It's May 2nd. This is Kansas News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. A fire hit a community gym in Kansas City, Missouri, over the weekend, causing some serious damage to the building at 3-4-1-2-E's-12th Street. Fire crews rode up around 7-15 a.m. on Saturday, May 2nd, after reports of flames shooting up from the back. It looks like the blaze kicked off outside the rear of the gym, then climbed the sidewall and chewed into the roof before firefighters got it locked, down quick. No one got hurt, and searches inside turned up empty, which is a huge relief for the neighborhood spot that folks rely on. Damage hit hard, especially the electrical panel, so all events and activities are shut down until they sort it out. Now the bomb in arson unit is digging into what sparked this, so we'll keep an eye on updates as they figure out the full story.
