HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A fire at the Super 8 on East 17th Avenue in Hutchinson Tuesday morning resulted in some damage.
The fire was called in at 7:16 Tuesday morning. The fire was found in a wall at the back of the motel in the stairway and firefighters were able to limit the fire to that wall. It appears to have started at ground level and then spread into the lower level of the hotel.
The motel was occupied at the time, but no one was hurt. The preliminary finding is that faulty electrical wiring was responsible for the fire.
Fire crews remained on scene for over an hour for overhaul and investigation.
