Two Dead In Garden City, Missouri, House Fire

Two people were found dead following a late-night house fire in rural Garden City. The Cass County Sheriff's Department and the Garden City Fire Department were dispatched to a home on South O’Bannon Road at approximately 10:47 p.m. Sunday, March, 30th.

When first responders arrived, they found the residence fully engulfed in flames and heavy smoke, making it impossible for deputies to enter the home. Emergency Medical Services and fire crews worked quickly to battle the blaze.
