KANSAS CITY, KAN. ----- A fire caused by a power-line knocked down during this morning's storms resulted in $25,000 worth of damage to a home at 6615 Leavenworth Road.
Kansas City, Kan., firefighters responded to the scene of the fire shortly after 11 a.m. on Thursday.
According to KCK Fire Department PIO Deputy Chief Craig Duke, tree limbs knocked down the power-lines during this morning's storm, which caused an electrical short inside the home.
