Woman dies in early Tuesday house fire in Kansas City, Missouri

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A woman died from her injuries following a house fire early Tuesday morning in Kansas City, Missouri.

Firefighters were called just before 7 a.m. Tuesday to a burning house near E. 51st Street and Agnes.

A KCFD spokesperson said responding firefighters discovered a home with smoke and fire showing.

The spokesperson says crews found a woman upstairs, pulled her from the home, and tried to revive her at the scene, but were unsuccessful.

Firefighters say they went back into the home three more times after neighbors suggested there may be a possible second person inside, but nobody else was located.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
