Fire at 9th and Central a total loss

Firefighters responded at 12:31 p.m. Oct. 8 to a residential fire at 930 Central Ave., according to a Kansas City, Kan., Fire Department spokesman.

The loss to the home, which was valued at $5,500, was total, the spokesman said.

Crews arrived within 4 minutes of the call to find the 1 1/5-story wood frame building fully engulfed.

Because neighbors thought the building might be occupied, crews did three searches to confirm no one was inside, the spokesman said.

The cause of the fire is unknown and is under investigation, according to the spokesman. The fire investigator is looking into the fire.

There were no injuries.
