So until last week, I had the distinction of covering the biggest fire in Kansas City in the last 30 years. Back in 1998, my best bud Curt and I were driving near downtown at about 2am one Saturday when we spotted the "Fire in the Bottoms." It was a huge warehouse fire... and we were among the first to spot it. In fact, we pulled up before the fire department did. Our coverage won several local and national awards. It was the most massive fire in KC in decades.
That all changed when this chemical plant caught fire last week. It's bigger than the "Fire in the Bottoms." But I guarantee you... the coverage wasn't better! Right Curt?
