HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson firefighters were busy Friday afternoon with a brush fire and early Saturday morning with a structure fire. 

According to a release from the department, crews were called out to 8900 North Lorraine Friday afternoon, where a large brush pile had caught a nearby tree line on fire, with two other fires 100 and 200 yards from the original fire. It took about 4 hours to get that under control.

Then at 2:14 a.m. Saturday, crews were called out to a structure fire at 121 North Bonebrake St. Heavy smoke was coming from a single-story house. Flames were coming from the back side of the home. The fire was quickly brought under control, though it did spread to the attic space. No one was hurt.

Hutchinson Fire would like to thank Hutchinson Police, Hutchinson/Reno County Emergency Communications, Reno County EMS, Kansas Gas and Evergy for their help in these incidents.
