KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Another night of firefighting for KCMO fire crews at the Parade Park Homes complex in the 1500 block of Euclid Avenue as another vacant, two-story apartment burned.

Firefighters were sent just after 7 p.m. on a report of an apartment fire at the complex, according to a KCMO Fire Department spokesperson.

Crews found flames coming from a vacant, two-story apartment and began working their way inside to put out the fire.

With the extent of damage and the danger to firefighters, commanders made the decision to bring firefighters out of the building.

Large streams of water were shot down on the flames and the fire died down.
