HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Fire Department (HFD) contained and put out a vehicle fire that extended to the garage Sunday night.

At 10:12 p.m., the HFD responded to 3809 Queens Place for a vehicle fire.

Upon arrival, Engine 7 found a half-ton truck on fire. The fire was extending to the garage, prompting Engine 7 to upgrade to a first alarm assignment.

Engine 7 crew made a fast attack on the fire and cut it off from extending further into the garage.

The vehicle fire was later extinguished.

Fire crew overhauled the siding on the garage checking for hot spots.

They were able to keep the fire damage to just the exterior of the garage.

"There were no injuries at this fire and the residents have returned to their home," said HFD in a release. 

For their support in fighting the fire, HFD extended their thanks to Reno County Emergency Communication, Reno County Emergency Medical Service, and the Reno County Sheriff's Office.
