The alarm sounded at 9:08 a.m. Friday morning- sending units to the 700 block of Southwest 37th Street where a citizen reported smoke coming from the structure.
The caller also reported that the occupants- reported as "a single female and her baby" were "possibly still inside" the duplex.
A Blue Springs police officer arrived at the scene about 5 minutes later and confirmed that smoke was coming from the residence.
About 10 minutes after that- a woman drove up to another police officer blocking the street for fire equipment- and the woman reportedly told the officer "it was her house" that was on fire.
CJCFPD crews reported both sides of the duplex "clear" of any persons possibly still inside- and the fire was reported "under control" at 9:21 a.m. (although a short time later- additional fire was located "in the attic" of the duplex).
The fire was declared under control a 2nd time at 9:54 a.m..
Thus far- no injuries have been reported and an investigation as to the fire's cause will be undertaken as soon as the fire is out.
