Infant dies in Kansas City-area house fire

GRANDVIEW (AP) – Fire officials say an adult and an infant died in a fire in a Kansas City suburb.

The fire was reported early Monday at a home in Grandview.

Grandview Fire Chief Chuck Thacker says an adult’s body was found in the home’s basement. The infant was taken to a hospital and later died.

KSHB-TV reports another person was taken to the hospital with critical injuries.

Thacker said two children escaped through a bedroom window and ran to a neighbor’s home to alert emergency workers.
