KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Kansas City officials say a woman was injured when fire damaged three vacant buildings in the city’s historic Jazz District at 18th & Vine.
Kansas City Fire Battalion Chief Mike Cashen says a woman was warming herself with a fire inside one of the buildings early Thursday when the fire got out of control. She was taken to a hospital but the extent of her injuries is not known.
All the buildings were empty and belonged to the city.
One building once housed the Deluxe Nightclub and another was the former Eblon Theater.
KCTV5 reports (https://bit.ly/2l0go2l ) the buildings are part of a redevelopment plan and the fires won’t change those plans.
City officials say they plan to try to keep buildings’ historic facade during the redevelopment.
