LARNED -Fire crews are investigating the cause of a fire at the Central States Scout Museum in Larned.

The fire started just after 2:15 p.m. on Friday at the 1400 square foot building, in the 800 Block of Broadway, according to owner, Charles Sherman.

“The building is a total loss. The contents that date from 1910 are irreplaceable,” he said.

The Great Bend fire department was dispatched for aerial mutual aid and was on scene for about 4 hours assisting with aerial support.

There were no injuries reported, according to Sherman. “We were fortunate in that way,” said Sherman.
