KANSAS CITY, Mo. —Investigators are working to determine the cause of a large house fire in Kansas City, Missouri.
Just before 1:30a.m. Thursday, crew responded to a reported house fire in the 2400 block of Mntgall Avenue, according to Battalion Chief Micheal Hopkins.
On arrival crews reported a fully involved two-story vacant residence. The fire was too intense and too advanced to make an interior attack, so companies battled this fire from a defensive posture using multiple handlines and two master streams.
Several minutes into the operation portions of the rear of the structure began to collapse. Companies battled this fire for nearly two hours. No injuries were reported.
Dangerous buildings and City Planning were requested to the scene.
