Around 3:45 a.m.- both stations of the NKCFD responded to a fire at the French Quarter Apartments at 1600 Orleans Circle- just northwest of the Interstate 29/35 and Armour Road intersection in that Northland industrial city.
Arriving the fire crews found people trapped on outside balconies by heavy smoke in the building- then found a female in an inside hallway unconcious- reportedly from "smoke inhalation-" according to the story from KSHB 41News.
Although the fire crews were no doubt somewhat delayed by the rescues- the fire- reportedly in "a basement storage area-" was quickly knocked down and extinguished before it could spread throughout the rest of the 2-story building.
The woman was taken to North Kansas City Hospital in unknown condition- but no other injuries were reported while the American Red Cross helped to re-locate those residents rendered temporarily homeless by the fire.
