KC-MO fire also went to an automatic alarm at 909 Walnut at 4:23am- cleared on a false alarm- only to return at 4:45am when a security guard reportedly smelled smoke coming from an electrical room.

The fire crews just cleared the scene again after checking and finding little..



Warrensburg MO fire crews were sent to the 400 block of Acorn Place to check a house that had a tree fall on it during a severe thunderstorm.

There was no hazard or injuries reported from that.
