S
ix companies of the Kansas City-KS Fire department responded to a vacant house fire in the 2200 block of South Mill Street just before 2 am Saturday morning.


The "2-story" structure was fully-engulfed in flames when the first fire company arrived at 2:03 am and the firefight was on.

An additional fire company was ordered when it appeared neighboring structures were in danger. Later- yet another company brought an air supply apparatus.

The fire was declared "out" by 3:15 am and did not spread to surrounding structures.

At 3:49 am- a firefighter was reported to have suffered a "not serious" injury while doing overhaul at the scene and was taken to a hospital.

An arson investigator was determining a cause.
