The two
firefighters who died had pulled two residents out of the
burning building, the Kansas City fire department said.
"This is the worst day,” Kansas City Fire Chief Paul Berardi
told reporters.
The names of the firefighters were not immediately released.
The cause of the blaze was under investigation.
