On the 21st anniversary of the deadly south-central KC-MO explosion in 1988 (4:07 am) that killed 6 firefighters on 2 fire companies at U.S. 71 and 87th Street- fire companies in Kansas City MO and KS worked structure fires.
The first was in South Midtown KC-MO reported around 1:50 am as a vacant house fire in the 5900 block of Spruce.
Flames crackled from the decrepit- boarded-up house and firefighters used 2 handlines to quell them by 2:02 am.
No injuries to the crews and an arson investigator ruled cause as same.
The KC-KS incident came in at 1:54 am when a single fire company was sent to investigate smoke in the area of the 1300 block of North 77th Street.
That company found a structure fire upon arrival at 2:02 am and asked for a full-alarm response of 4 more companies.
The original crew knocked the fire down a minute later and the other responders were returned.
No word of any injuries and again- an arson investigator was summonded.
