Kansas City Firefighters Battle Blaze at Vacant House

0:00Kansas City Firefighters spent over two hours battling a fierce blaze at a vacant two-story house in the 2,400 block of Mongolia Avenue early Thursday morning. Crews rode out just after 126 a.m. and found the place fully engulfed, way too hot for them to go inside, so they hit it from the outside, with hand lines and master streams. A few minutes in, the back of the house started collapsing, but the team stayed safe and kept pouring water on it until they knocked the fire down, completely. No one got hurt, which is huge since it was an empty spot, and now city officials from dangerous buildings and planning are checking out the wreckage. Investigators are still digging into what sparked this one, so we'll keep an eye on updates as they come in. From your city, powered by AI, this is Kansas News Today.
