HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Fire crews responded Wednesday evening to a garage fire after a caller reported the smell of smoke, according to a release from the Hutchinson Fire Department.
Battalion Chief Justin Holzrichter said firefighters were dispatched at 6:44 p.m. to the 1100 block of East Eleventh Ave. for a possible structure fire. When crews arrived, they found smoke coming from the eaves of a detached garage.
Firefighters launched what Holzrichter described as an “aggressive fire attack” and were able to quickly bring the blaze under control. Crews remained at the scene afterward to overhaul the structure and collect equipment.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire has not yet been released.
The fire department expressed appreciation for assistance from Reno County EMS, the Hutchinson Police Department and the City of Hutchinson Public Works Department.
