Sedalia firefighters then responded to a fatal vehicle accident in the intersection of 15th Street and Grand Avenue around 2:30 a.m. Saturday.

Firefighters also responded to a house fire in the 600 block of West 4th Street around 4:30 a.m. Saturday.

The firefighters that arrived to the scene first found a three-story house visibly smoking, and on fire and a neighboring house, approximately six feet away, starting to burn.
