Tuesday night fire leaves no one hurt

(KAIR)--A Tuesday night Atchison house fire was quickly extinguished by firefighters, and no one was hurt.

That’s according to a release from Interim Atchison Fire Chief Patrick Weishaar, who said crews were called to 324 Woodlawn Avenue, around 10:30 Tuesday night, for a report that flames were showing through the roof of the residence.
Firefighters, upon arrival, found flames coming from the roof vents and visible flames showing through a small window in the rear of the home.

Making entry into the home, firefighters quickly extinguished the fire, which was found in a bathroom on the main floor.

Moderate damage to that area of the home, extending to the attic, is reported.
No one was at home at the time of the fire.

Weishaar said the fire was reported by a passerby.

The cause remains under investigation.
