A fire at 2:06 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21, a 648 Oakland Ave. caused extensive damage to a three-story house.

According to a spokesman for the Kansas City, Kansas, Fire Department, a person reported seeing flames coming from the three-story single-family residence.

When they arrived, fire crews found the fire on the second floor and also coming out of the third floor, according to the spokesman.

An additional pumper was called because of exposure. In all, seven fire suppression units, four Emergency Medical Services units, two chief officers and the fire investigator responded.

Because the third floor was missing in areas, all crews evacuated and switched to an exterior attack, the spokesman stated. There were no injuries to residents or firefighters.
