HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson firefighters had to deal with hoarding as they fought a fire late Sunday night in Hutchinson.
Firefighters who arrived just after 10:45 p.m. found heavy fire and smoke showing from the rear of a single story house at 929 West 2nd.
The one person in the house got out safely. Fire crews had a difficult time entering the home due to the hoarder like conditions they encountered. The home is uninhabitable. No firefighters were hurt.
The homeowner tried to solve a wasp infestation by burning and smoking out the wasp nests by burning a mattress and ragweed which then started the home on fire.
