KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A line of storms packed with lightning could be to blame for at least two fire calls worked by Kansas City, Missouri, firefighters Monday.
Around 9:45 a.m., crews were called to Mackay Hall at 8700 NW River Park Drive on the campus of Park University on a reported fire.
A university spokesperson said that while the clock tower on the building was not struck, one of the spires did suffer a strike.
The building was evacuated briefly to allow firefighters to give the all-clear in the building.
The strike did affect phone and internet service at Mackay Hall and three other buildings nearby.
No injuries were reported.
