HUTCHINSON — Authorities are working to determine the cause of a Sunday morning house fire in Hutchinson.

Just after 5:30a.m., the Hutchinson Fire Department was dispatched for a report of structure fire at 409 West 6th Avenue, according to Fire Chief Steve Beer. The first on scene units reported flames coming out from a window and a door on the front of the home.

Crews were informed that two dogs and a female victim were unaccounted for. Crews performed an aggressive fire attack along with search and rescue efforts in order to quickly locate a potential victim. Fire crews were able to rescue the two dogs; however, the primary search revealed no people inside of the structure.

Fire crews were able to bring the fire under control quickly, but not before it did extensive damage to the structure.  The fire remains under investigation.
