MetroRegion K.C. News and Weather On A Mid-Summer Night: Hour 4


HOUR 4



3 AM THROUGH 4 AM



I t had been a VERY slow hour- no calls whatsoever logged until 3:46 am....


That's when the report of a house fire came in in the 8900 block of South Buckner-Tarsney Road..
The tones went out to fire departments from Lake Lotawana- Lone Jack- Sni Valley (Oak Grove) and Central Jackson County (Blue Springs/Grain Valley)..


The Lake Lotawana fire chief arrived about 5 minutes after the alarm was sounded- he reported "heavy smoke showing along the entire roofline" of the house.

There's been no word yet on the occupancy status of this house as the firefight carries on.



The weather remains mostly cloudy- temperatures holding in the mid to upper-70's Metro-wide with any precipitation still about 50 miles away in any direction from downtown KC-MO..
