At around 5:15 p.m., on Sunday, a fire was reported in the center way of D-Cell House at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility.

The fire was reported to the Hutchinson Fire Department who responded to the facility.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time and is under investigation. Damage to the center way is minimal and no injuries were reported.

Battalion Chief Doug Hanen says the fire occurred in a restricted area where plumbing and cables are contained. Crews extinguished the fire within 10 minutes.

Prisoners were moved to the prison yard when the fire was reported but returned to the cell block after the fire crews left.

This is the second fire at the facility in the past month.

An inmate was treated for smoke inhalation after a fire in his cell in October. No one else was injured.
