An Old School Kansas City Hot Mess

From the library blog: The Worst Fire in Kansas City History . . . The Coates House Hotel blaze of 1978.

TKC Real Talk: My Dad, who watched some of it go down, told me that when they were finished putting out the fire in the flop-house, some of the residents who perished in the blaze were frozen stiff on the window sills from the water the firefighters poured into the building and the freezing temperatures.
