RENO COUNTY —Investigators are working to determine the cause of a Saturday morning Kansas house fire.
Just before 2:30a.m., fire crews were called to the fire in a single-story home at 1709 East 2nd Avenue in Hutchinson, according to a media release.
One adult and four dogs were able to get out safely, but the home had heavy fire when firefighters got there, and the side and rear of the home were heavily damaged and fire also got into the attic and walls.
Firefighters were unable to stop the fire until Evergy cut power to the house. There were live power lines down in the yard.
Red Cross was called to help, because there was too much damage to the house to let them back in Saturday morning.
Fire officials remind the public to test your smoke detectors at least once a month and be sure they have fresh batteries.
