KC-MO Fatal House Fire: Why Did It Take So Long To Find The Victim



FIRST reported HERE at CSW was yesterday afternoon's house fire in south Kansas City that killed the elderly female occupant.


As in my initial story- I state that primary searches of the house are underway as early as 10 minutes before 1pm- but the body is not located until nearly 30 minutes later.

Fire crews are told early on to search "a northeast bedroom" in the burning house but it's not known where the victim was found.

As a former firefighter- I wonder if the body was covered by debris or what EXACTLY happened to take nearly 30 minutes after entry to find the victim?
