KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City, Missouri, firefighter was hospitalized Monday morning as crews battled a two-alarm fire in icy conditions.
Just before 7 a.m., crews were called to the 3800 block of E. 12th Terrace on a vacant two-story apartment building that was reported to be on fire.
The first crews to arrive found the blaze had spread to a neighboring house, so a second alarm was called.
While working to prevent the fire from spreading to a third structure, a firefighter slipped and fell on ice. The firefighter was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Crews remained on the scene throughout Monday morning to put out hot spots.
A fire department spokesperson said the cause of the fire might be difficult to pinpoint due to the extent of the damage.
