HUTCHINSON, Kan. —  Hutchinson fire crews worked two fires Wednesday afternoon.

The second fire was called in at the Sonoco paper facility just before 3 p.m. Firefighters arrived to find a large pile of paper and cardboard ablaze. Two aerial trucks poured water on the fire for more than an hour. Stutzman Refuse was then called in to haul the debris away. 

No damage was reported and there were no injuries in either fire.
