Two homes damaged after morning fire spreads from one house to another in Kansas City
Two homes sustained extensive damage when an early morning fire at one house spread to the other in Kansas City, a fire department spokesman said Monday.
The fire was reported about 1:15 a.m. in the 2300 block of Askew Avenue, said Jason Spreitzer, a spokesman for the Kansas City Fire Department.
Arriving firefighters reported that the fire had spread a neighboring home. No one was injured in the blaze, but it caused significant damage to the home where it originated and severe damage to the exterior of the neighboring house.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, Spreitzer said.
