KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A woman and a child died early Saturday morning after fire broke out at an apartment complex in the Legends Oaks Apartments in Kansas City, Kan.

The fire started at about 5:45 a.m. and when firefighters arrived on the scene, the fire was raging from the apartment located at 1800 North 76th Drive.
