PRETTY PRAIRIE, Kan. — One person died as a result of a house fire near Pretty Prairie.

Fire units were dispatched to the area of 9 E. Horseshoe Lane east of Pretty Prairie, near Cheney Lake, around 2:42 a.m. Tuesday for the report of a structure fire with possible occupants still inside.

Upon arrival, they found a single-story double-wide residence on fire. The fire spread quickly to other parts of the structure within minutes.

She reported that her grandmother, Judy Kay Alley, 70, was still inside the residence.

Once the fire was under control, firefighters found one individual, Alley, deceased within the residence.

The fire is still under investigation by the State Fire Marshal’s Office.
