Overland Park, Kansas

April 29, 2022

Crews from Overland Park and Lenexa Fire were called to an
apartment fire at the Wycliff West Apartments in the 104th block of Mastin. First units
on the scene reported smoke and fire from a ground floor apartment with evacuations
in progress. A second alarm was called. Crews rescued one woman and her dog from
a second story balcony in an apartment adjacent to the fire.

Fire from the ground floor apartment spread upward and affected several units on
the second level with some fire making it into the attic. It took crews about an hour to
bring the fire under control.

No injuries are reported. Four apartments were damaged by the fire. Five residents
are displaced. The Red Cross is being called to assist the displaced residents. The
cause of the fire is under investigation.
