JOHNSON COUNTY —Authorities are working to determine the cause of a house fire in Overland Park.

Just after 6p.m. Sunday, crews were called to a fire in the 7100 Block of W 84th Terrace, according to a media release. First responders reported observing heavy smoke and fire coming from the single story home. 

Fire crews initiated a blitz fire attack from outside on the heavily involved garage fire while additional crews search the home to make sure nobody was inside. The residents were able to escape.

It took fire crews from Overland Park and Consolidated Fire District #2 20 minutes to bring the fire under control. The home suffered significant fire and smoke damage. 

One resident was in the kitchen when she noticed smoke. She opened a garage door, saw the fire and called 911. There are were no injuries reported. The home did not have working smoke alarms. The Red Cross is assisting two adults and two dogs displaced by the fire.
