Multiple emergency crews responded to a fire northwest of Ainsworth Thursday afternoon. Members of the Ainsworth, Riverside, and Washington Fire Departments along with Washington County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a two-story house fire just after 2 p.m. in the 2800 block of 230th Street between Spruce Avenue and Tulip Avenue. As heard live from the scene on KCII, smoke could be seen coming from windows of the second story and from a hole cut in the roof of the home.

This is a developing story and KCII News will bring you more information once it becomes available.
