VIDEO/PHOTOS - An eight-alarm fire that began at an unoccupied apartment complex in Kansas on Monday injured three firefighters and destroyed multiple homes, according to emergency officials.
The fire broke out at an apartment complex under construction in Overland Park, Kansas at around 3:30 p.m. Monday before quickly spreading to several homes nearby, Fire Department Chief Bryan Dehner said Monday evening.
At least 17 homes were affected by fire in the incident, but "there may be some other damage out there," Dehner said while speaking at a press conference.
He described their conditions as a "mixed bag" of damaged and destroyed.
