The Hutchinson Fire Department quickly responded Saturday to a fire in the 600 block of West 13th Street, where they found a detached garage fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters reported visible flames venting through the roof upon arrival.
Crews launched an aggressive offensive attack, gaining control of the fire and containing it in a short period of time. Officials confirmed the garage was unoccupied, and no injuries were reported.

“The collaboration among these agencies exemplifies our community’s commitment to safety and rapid response,” the Fire Department said in a statement.
The fire’s cause and extent of damage were not immediately released.
