A fire in a church that had reportedly been converted into a residence burned in Raymore MO overnight.
The fire at 105 South Plum Street was reported to the South Metro Fire department at 1:32 am..
Police- also responding on the alarm- arrived a few minutes later and reported "flames in the rear" of the 2-1/2-story structure "in the basement area."
By the time mutual-aid help arrived from the Belton Fire department at 1:45 am- flames had spread throughout the interior of the building- and into the attic.
By 2:03 am- the on-scene South Metro fire chief has determined "the structure is probably vacant" of any occupants.
At 2:15 am- the chief ordered all crews inside the structure fighting the fire back outside as flames were consuming the roof.
Also providing mutual-aid fire fighting or coverage was the West Peculiar and Grandview fire departments.
As of two hours after the initial alarm (3:33 am)- no injuries had been reported and the flames had been knocked down with crews "wetting down the hot spots."
Awaiting official report as to the fire's cause.
