Hays Fire Department
On September 25, 2022, at approximately 7:03 p.m. the Hays Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a mobile home on fire located at 1010 Reservation Road in Hays.
Upon arrival fire crews found smoke and flames coming from the kitchen exhaust fan. Crews entered the structure with forced entry through the front door and located the fire in the kitchen.
Firefighters extinguished the fire and ventilated the home. Firefighters checked for extension and remained on scene to complete ventilation. Fire damage was limited to the kitchen and living room. Smoke caused damage through the entire home.
The fire was caused by the stove burner being turned on accidently and igniting nearby combustible materials.
The Hays Fire Department would like to remind everyone that when in the kitchen ensure that all burners are off and combustible materials are away from the stove. We would also like to remind everyone to have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
The Hays Fire Department, Ellis County Fire Department Company 5, Ellis County EMS, Ellis County Sherriff’s Department and Hays Police Department all responded.
