CSW BREAKING: House Fire in Independence MO

Five companies of the able Independence MO Fire department are engaged in a fire-fight in a 1-story residence in the northwestern part of that city.

The initial alarm sounded at 1:05 p.m. for the location near the intersection of 10th Street and South Crisp- and when first-arriving "Pumper 3" got there 3 minutes later- they reported "smoke showing" from the "1-story" house and a "fire in the basement."


Thus far- there's been no indication of anyone trapped in the house- nor any injuries reported as of this posting- but it appears another Metro family unfortunately won't be 'home for Christmas.'
