HUTCHINSON —  Fire caused heavy damage to a dry cleaning and commercial laundry business on Main Street in Hutchinson on Thursday evening.

Doug Hannen of the Hutchinson Fire Department said crews arrived around 6:30 p.m. to find fire coming from the back of the building.

“The fire was trapped between the roof and a ceiling making it difficult to get to,” said Hannen.

The fire caused significant damage to the back area of the store and smokes and water damage throughout the building.

The business owner Rachel Nelson said they closed the store at 6 p.m. and at 6:20 they received a call from their security service.

“We drove over here and the entire back of the building was on fire. We then heard the sirens coming down the street,” said Nelson.

Hanen says it still too early to tell what caused the fire and there were no injuries.
