KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One woman was taken to the hospital for moderate smoke inhalation after an overnight fire, according to the Overland Park Fire Department.
Firefighters were called just after 1 a.m. Tuesday to the Corbin Greens Apartments at 140th and Russell Street.
Crews said a kitchen fire on the second floor of the three-story apartment building had been held in check by a working sprinkler system.
The blaze was quickly extinguished in about 10 minutes.
Firefighters carried an adult female from the second-floor landing.
She was taken to the hospital with moderate smoke inhalation as a precaution.
The fire was contained to one apartment, and residents were allowed to reoccupy the remaining units.
While the fire is believed to have been a cooking fire, the exact cause is under investigation.
