The Kansas City MetroRegion Overnight News and Weather Report - Saturday, August 18, 2007
*** The alarm sounded at 3:25 am for five KC-MO fire companies to a "possible" house fire in the 10800 block of Ewing- in the Ruskin Heights area.
The first fire company arrived 3 minutes later and found nothing at the dispatched address- but detected a "strong odor" of "something burning." Other companies were sent house to house- and to the next block to look for the fire.
It wasn't until 3:36am that the house on fire was located- the 2nd house south of the original address. There are initial reports of "2 adults and 3 children" living in the house- but only one person- "a 45-year-old male" is found inside at 3:39am..
The man was taken to the nearest trauma center and the fire was under investigation.
