KANSAS CITY, Mo — The Kansas City, Missouri, Fire Department is investigating a house fire that displaced one adult, one child and a dog early Saturday morning.

KCFD companies were dispatched around 3:08 a.m. Saturday to a reported fire in the 3800 block of Myrtle Avenue.

When they got there, crews found heavy fire coming from a two-story vacant home, with flames extending into a neighboring house.

The original home where the fire stemmed from ended up collapsing on itself. The flames were extinguished and brought under control around 3:48 a.m.

City Planning and Dangerous Buildings was requested to the scene.

No injuries have been reported from this incident. Red Cross was called to help assist the adult, child and dog.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by KCFD.

Nebraska women’s basketball landed a commitment from four-star 2027 center Addison Medeck. She was a prolific player for Papillion-La Vista South last season.

Medeck averaged 16.5 points, 12.2 rebounds and shot 59% from the field. She is the 37th-overall player nationally in her class, the 7th-overall center, and the top player in the state of Nebraska, according to the 247Sports Rankings.

Her only offer came from the Huskers and it came on the same day as her commitment. Now, Amy Williams and the coaching staff have locked up another in-state star.

This is the first commitment for the 2027 recruiting class. This gives Nebraska a solid starting point from which to build its class around. Williams and her staff will have a multifaceted player to work with over the next couple of seasons.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
