Newton Fire causes damage to building on North Main

Fire graphic

NEWTON, Kan. – At around 10 pm Saturday night, Newton Fire and EMS crews responded to the report of flames showing from the roof of the Clayworks building at 417 N. Main in that city.

The first crews to arrive found fire extending through the roof on the alley side of the building.

After crews began extinguishing the fire, other crews were able to enter the rest of the building and found smoke throughout, but fortunately no fire extension.

Crews also entered adjacent buildings to check for fire extension and hot spots. They rotated crews back to the scene throughout the night to make sure nothing flared up.

There were no injuries.
