KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An overnight fire in Overland Park displaced four residents of a two-story, single-family home, according to the Overland Park Fire Department.

Shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday, crews from Overland Park and Leawood fire departments were called to a house fire at West 95th Street and Horton Street.

The first units on the scene reported heavy smoke and fire showing from the garage and first floor of the home with everyone out safely.

Firefighters attacked fire from multiple places in the house, including the garage, first-floor living space, and second floor. While they fought the blaze, additional crews searched the home and confirmed no one was inside.
