McPHERSON — First responders were called to the McPherson Post Office early Saturday morning after reports of a possible structure fire.
At 7:45 a.m., McPherson Fire Department, McPherson EMS, and the McPherson Police Department responded to 115 E. Kansas. Upon arrival, crews confirmed the building had already been safely evacuated. Firefighters located an electrical outlet that had shorted out and burned.

Officials noted there were no injuries and, in their words, “no junk mail was harmed during this incident.”
