HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A garage fire Friday night was quickly put out by Hutchinson firefighters.
Crews were called at 6:38 p.m. Friday to 320 W. 13th for the report of a structure fire. When they got there, crews found a fire in a detached garage behind the residence.
Crews made a quick aggressive attack containing the fire to the garage. The garage suffered extensive damage. The occupants were not home at the time of the fire. No firefighter injuries were reported throughout the incident. The cause of the fire was determined to be related to a wood burning stove used to heat the garage. This is the second such fire in recent days in Hutchinson.
Fire staff asked earlier this month that homeowners please get furnaces, wood stoves, and chimneys checked and cleaned for the winter.
