CSW BREAKING: Apparent Water Main Break Floods Independence MO Fire Station



Around 2:15 pm- Independence Fire department Pumper 3 reported "water damage" at their station- apparently flowing into the station from an outside water main break.

Station 3 was replaced just last year and the new quarters are shown in the accompanying image.

Pumper 3 requested "a water pump" to get the water out of the station and the Winner Road and Ash intersection has been closed to traffic.

IFD isn't the only location suffering water damage. Several such calls have already been heard this afternoon from KC-MO to Lawrence KS- broken or frozen water pipes that have flooded homes- apartment buildings and businesses.

Record low temperatures are expected tomorrow morning.
