Kansas City firefighters worked to extinguish a blaze in a vacant building at the corner of East 8th Street and Woodland Avenue on Tuesday evening.
Staff at a nearby fire station spotted a column of smoke around 7 p.m. and responded to the building, where they found a full working fire, said Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins with the Kansas City Fire Department. Firefighters entered the building and made it to the structure’s second floor but had to drop back because the fire had progressed too far, he said.
