Vacant Atchison home ravaged by fire

(KAIR)--A Friday night fire, at a vacant Atchison home, left significant damage, despite a fast response from the Atchison Fire Department.

According to a release from Fire Chief Patrick Weishaar, firefighters “responded to a structure fire” around 11:22 Friday night following “a report of a roof on fire.”

Saying that “crews arrived just moments later to find a portion of the attic and roof on fire,” Weishaar, in the release, explains that “the fire was extinguished quickly but the structure had already sustained significant damage,” adding that “the home has been vacant with no utilities.”

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

No injuries are reported.
