KANSAS CITY —Authorities are investigating the cause of fire in a rural Kansas City home.
Just after 1:30a.m. Thursday, crews were dispatched to a reported fire in the 13000 block of Rickey Road in Kansas City, Missouri, according to Battalion Chief Riley Nolan.
On arrival, crews reported fire showing from a 1-story residence. An offensive fire attack was initiated. Crews did change tactics, going to a defensive attack, due to the challenges of establishing a water source in the remote location.
Relay pumping from a hydrant from a long distance and shuttling water with the rigs were utilized to get water. All occupants of the residence were able to get out on their own. The fire was brought under control at 3:08 a.m.
City Planning and Dangerous Building were requested to the scene. There were no injuries reported.
