HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson fire crews were called to 1709 East 2nd Avenue at 2:23 a.m. Saturday.
One adult and four dogs were able to get out safely, but the home had heavy fire when firefighters got there, and the side and rear of the home were heavily damaged and fire also got into the attic and walls.
Firefighters couldn't completely stop the fire until Evergy cut power to the house, as there were live power lines down in the yard.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated. Red Cross was called to help, because there was too much damage to the house to let them back in this morning.
Hutch Fire reminds the public to test your smoke detectors at least once a month and be sure they have fresh batteries.
