RENO COUNTY —Authorities are working to determine the cause of a Sunday night fire in Hutchinson.
Just after 9:30p.m. Sunday, crews responded to house fire at 218 East B. Avenue, according to Battalion Chief Jeremy Unruh. The fire was located at the back of the small single story residence near the rear exit.
Fire crews made a quick aggressive attack and extinguished the fire limiting the fire spread to one small utility room. Occupants of the structure had left the home 30 minutes prior to the call. Light smoke damage was present throughout the home. Fire crews remained on scene for one hour to overhaul the area and assist in investigation. The investigation suggests the cause appears to be electrical in nature, according to Unruh.
