KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At least three people were transported to area hospitals along with several people rescued from an apartment fire Monday morning in Kansas City, Missouri.
Around 10:15 a.m., fire crews responded to an apartment building at 531 Gladstone Boulevard. According to the department, smoke and fire appeared around the building.
A fire department spokesperson reported crews completed multiple rescues from the upper floors of the multi-story apartment building.
At least three people were transported with burns and smoke inhalation. KCFD says the injuries are all non-life threatening.
KCPD Fire Department spokesperson Jimmy Walker says fire crews were able to arrive so quickly to the apartment complex because they were nearby returning from another call beforehand.
By about 10:35 a.m., a KSHB 41 News photographer on the scene reported the crews had been largely able to extinguish the blaze.
Fire Department says they are still investigating the cause of the fire
