KANSAS CITY, MO. — Fire crews from three different agencies battled a fire at a large horse stable and arena in Johnson County on Sunday afternoon.

The Overland Park and Olathe fire departments along with the Johnson County Fire District #1 responded to the fire in the 12600 block of west 183rd Street at around 4 p.m.

When crews arrived on the scene, they reported heavy smoke and a fire from the horse stable and arena.
