HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Fire Department responded to 3609 W. 9th just after 3 p.m. Thursday for a reported structure fire.

The one-story mobile home was occupied at the time by one adult who was able to escape and notify the fire department.

First arriving units found the detached garage fully involved with extension into the residence.

Crews were forced to extinguish the fire from the exterior because of fire involvement in a weakened structure and a downed power line in the back yard. The area is outside of fire hydrants, so water was shuttled in with water tenders. The fire was extinguished with severe damage to the home. The garage was destroyed.

Fire crews remained on scene conducting overhaul and investigation. There were no injuries reported. Red Cross was called to assist the residents.
