There has been a working fire in a multi-story apartment building for elderly people in the 1700 block of Summit.The automatic alarm came in around 2:20am to the building and a pumper- truck company and a battalion chief responded.
WHen they arrived and made it to the 3rd-floor- they found "heavy smoke" and requested more fire companies at 2:26 am..
There are at least 9 fire companies- a 3-alarm equivalent- there at this time.
As of 2:52 am- a fire in a 3rd-floor apartment- unoccupied- is out- but evacuations of residents on at least 4 floors of the 6-story building continue.
A MAST-EMS unit just requested a 2nd unit.
Update on this and a possible shooting in Kansas City South when available....
