KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Video released by Fire District #1 of Johnson County, Kansas shows crews battling a blazing house fire in Gardner on Tuesday. 

Crews responded to the fire at about 8:35 p.m. on the 100 block of S. Pine Street. 

The occupants made it out safely, including a dog, but they advised live ammunition was still inside the home, which can be heard going off in the first few minutes of the video. 

Crews managed to attack the fire from outside the home and then get it under control enough so if could be fought from inside. 

Officials did not say if they have determined a cause of the fire.
