KANSAS CITY—Authorities are investigating the cause of a house fire in Kansas City.

Just after 7p.m. Saturday, crews responded to a reported house fire in the 1100 block of West 76th Street in Kansas City, Missouri, according to Battalion Chief Riley Nolan.

 The first company on scene reported heavy fire from a 2-story home and initiated an offensive fire attack. Crews advanced 2 hose lines to extinguish the flames, and searches throughout the structure came back "all clear".

The fire was reported under control at 7:28 p.m. Companies continued with overhaul operations to expose and extinguish hot spots prior to returning to service.  Dangerous buildings was ordered and the Red Cross was ordered for 2 adults. There were no injuries  reported, according to Nolan.
