HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson firefighters dealt with a garage fire Thursday night in the city.

According to a release from the fire department, just before 9:30 p.m. Thursday, crews were called out to 913 East 7th for a report of a fully involved garage fire.

Multiple power lines were reported down and arcing due to the fire. Those lines had fallen over wooden and metal fences that appeared to be charged by the lines. Evergy was immediately called, and once they had the power out, firefighters were able to fully extinguish and overhaul the garage. No one was hurt, but Red Cross crews were called to help in the neighborhood until the power could be restored.
