** FIRE DAMAGES SOUTH KC-MO FAST FOOD EATERY **



... The alarm came in just before 12:30 am for smoke inside the Sonic drive-in at 135th Street and Wornall in far southwest KC-MO..

It took crews about 15 minutes just to find the source of the smoke - it was a defective light fixture on the building.

The fire's reported under control exactly an hour later- and the Health Department was called to check if the eatery could open as normal today.

... Around 5:30 am this Saturday morning- KC-MO fire companies were called to 52nd Street and Euclid in the south-midtown area- where they found 2 houses on fire.

It only took about 20 minutes to bring the "suspicious" fire under control and there were no injuries.
