4/16/08 - Overnight Fires Keep Crews Busy
A woman and three young children escaped from their burning house in De Soto early this morning. JCFD3 assisted the De Soto Fire Department in the 8100 block of Kickapoo. See the Kansas City Star article here. Other JCFD3 crews responded to a 40 acre field fire at 127th & Spoon Creek Rd. Troublesome winds made extinguishment difficult. Johnson County Fire Dist. #1 and De Soto assisted with the fire that took 9 units to contain.

Construction for the station 2 (127th & Gardner Rd.) building addition has begun. Two new bays are being added on to the existing building to allow for better storage of equipment and apparatus. Roof and siding replacement are also being planned. See the photos here.
