A detached garage fire caused significant damage and threatened a nearby residence Saturday afternoon at 728 East 6th Street, according to the Hutchinson Fire Department.
Fire crews responded swiftly at approximately 1:40 PM after receiving a report of a structure fire. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered a fully involved detached garage with flames dangerously close to the residence. Thanks to the quick and efficient response of the first arriving crews, the fire was contained to the garage, preventing further damage to the main structure.
The house was occupied at the time of the fire, but fortunately, no injuries were reported. While the garage suffered heavy damage, fire officials confirmed that the home remains habitable.
The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
