Big Ass Fire in Overland Park

[gblowfish]

Around Neiman and College. Apartments under construction caught on fire, wind has blown embers to set about six or seven houses on fire. It's big and it's bad. Turn on local news, Johnny Rowlands is flying over it now.

[Rasputin]

Oh damn!

Wow. That seriously sucks for the home owners. Boom, house is on fire.

[Hammock Parties]

Someone probably left the smoker on.

[Chromatic]

i hope alex smith tears his acl in that fire

[gblowfish]

At least eight houses on fire. Wood shake roofs.

[raybec 4]

Man, that is terrible. Hope all the OP planeteers come through unharmed

[eDave]

At least eight houses on fire. Wood shake roofs.

I could feel the desperation from that guy hosing down his house. Hope it pays off.

[Chromatic]

[Nickhead]

I know. I hope it works too but damn. What a helpless feeling.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

from what I can find, the first units were opened in December, so this is partially occupied

[gblowfish]

Now they think 12 or more homes may be on fire. This one is bad. Real Bad.

They just said no reported injuries yet, hopefully it stays that way.

Those homeowners are stuck in traffic, hearing about this on the radio. Freaking out.

Rep.

[ghak99]

It's so dry here departments are going out to calls every day. I couldn't imagine trying to get one stopped with a lot of vertical fuel and enough wind to let it jump from roof to roof.

What a nightmare that would be.

[displacedinMN]

guy on Ch 5 swore. Cool

[displacedinMN]

amazing. Hope everyone will be ok.

[GloryDayz]

Ugh... I hope nobody gets hurt...

[Perineum Ripper]

Any word yet on if it was an AIDS fire

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Wonder how many pets are getting toasted

[Buehler445]

That is fucking terrible. Since 2012 fire scares the ever living fuck out of me.

Good thing that fire isn't here. This place is a powder keg.

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

speaking of pets, any word on the baby giraffe?

Terrible

8 alarms. Holy shit. I was driving home on east bound 435 and there were at least 5 fire trucks heading west. This was around 4:30.

They are saying that a 1 alarm fire typically dispatches around 12-15 fire fighters plus equipment.

How many trucks does KC have?

[BWillie]

I saw the smoke billowing from Lenexa.

[Dartgod]

How many trucks does KC have?

They have crews from several cities on site.

[Buehler445]

Have they got it under control?

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Is it under control? I worked on parcel 7 and 9...went in for permit on Friday. Go figure.

Explain. And if this is going to hit you in the wallet, that sucks. This whole thing sucks!

[Discuss Thrower]

Condolences for whomever lost their homes from the conflagration...

Anticipating another spike in my rent due to the supply loss from "luxury" units going up in smoke though.

I work for a local A/E firm. We have been working on the retail parcels. Another local firm did the multifamily parcels (the ones that burned).

Our work is located on the very north end of the development and being we are going in for permit, our buildings haven't gone vertical yet. Thus, nothing to burn.

Just a shame to see 9 months of construction go up in flames in less than a day.

We need rain and badly here. A few days of gentle showers would be so wonderful, but it will likely be torrents for a brief time, gulley washers, or an insignificant two minute sprinkle.

I thought you guys recently got slammed with rain and storms.

[raybec 4]

We had storms in the metro but it was moving so fast we didn't get much accumulated moisture.

[Valiant]

Glad there were no lives lost.

I understand we have been dry, but I wonder if this will come down to arson by the developer of the apartments.

I think it is more likely that someone on the construction crew fucked up...bad.

It really is amazing that someone didn't die. I only saw what everyone else saw on TV but I've never seen anything like that. The heat coming off the first building must have been insane.

I guess anything is possible but I don't expect arson to be the cause. We are so dry it could have been a worker flipping a lit cigarette at break time.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

I think it is more likely that someone on the construction crew ****ed up...bad.

99.9% chance of this. No one commits arson in the middle of the afternoon. Construction sites are rife with fire hazards, espcially all wood multi-family. Some dumb roofer or plumber got his torch pointed the wrong direction.

Some hoddie may have let his mortar fire get loose.
