One person died from their injuries in a Tuesday afternoon house fire in Hutchinson. The Hutchinson Fire Department (HFD) responded to the fire to a two-and-a-half story home a little after noon in the 4500 block of East Avenue G. The fire department reported heavy smoke showing from the front of the home when crews arrived.
“Bystanders on scene informed HFD of a possible individual in the home,” the fire department reported. “As fire crews entered the home, crews located the victim and removed them from the structure.”
The Hutchinson Fire Department said fire and EMS crews started life-saving measures, an attempt that continued for about 40 minutes. The person found in the home died at the scene, the fire department said.
