HUTCHINSON, Kan. – At 12:30 pm., the Hutchinson Fire Department responded to a report of a structure fire near 20th and Rambler Road.
First-arriving units arrived to a single-story structure with heavy smoke coming from multiple windows. Crews did a 360 of the property and were able to tell that the fire was in the basement. Crews entered the structure and found the fire room quickly. The fire was extinguished moments later. The fire was contained to one room in the basement; however, due to location, smoke traveled throughout the home.
The occupants and animals of the home self-evacuated prior to our arrival. Crews quickly confirmed this after a search of the home. No injuries were reported. Investigation continues at the time of this release.
HFD would like to thank our community partners for their assistance; Hutchinson Police, Hutchinson Reno County Emergency Communications, Reno County EMS, Kansas Gas, Evergy, and 1800Boardup.
