Residents of eight apartment units displaced Sunday by fire inside Overland Park building
An early Sunday morning fire displaced residents from eight apartment units of a two-story, Overland Park complex.
Fire crews responded at 3 a.m. to calls of a building fire at Sheridan Ridge Townhomes near the 8400 block of Farley Street, according to Jason Rhodes, a spokesman for the Overland Park Fire Department.
Officers discovered fire and heavy smoke billowing out of the apartment complex. By the time they arrived, all residents had evacuated the building safely.
The fire continued to grow inside the complex’s attic and a second alarm was called. Two hours later, crews were able to get the fire under control, Rhodes said.
No injuries were reported and a local chapter of the Red Cross provided assistance to displaced residents.
The Overland Park Fire Department is still investigating the cause of the fire.
