KC Firefighters Battle Two Nighttime Blazes | Kansas City News

When the city was hit by a wild thunderstorm that knocked out power and disrupted the SantaCaliGon festival, Kansas City Fire Department crews were on high alert—responding to two house fires in under an hour. The first blaze on East Meyer Blvd was quickly contained with no injuries; the second, on Ford Ave, presented a far more dangerous scenario amid severe hoarding conditions, but firefighters still brought it under control by 11:15 p.m. No one was hurt in either case, and officials are now assessing structural damage and investigating causes.
