DICKINSON COUNTY – Fire crews responded to a residential fire six miles west of Junction City just after 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Rural fire crews from Geary and Dickinson County were called to fight the fire.

When fire crews arrived, they found a back bedroom fully involved in fire, according to Paul Froelich, Dickinson County Fire District One Chief.

“The fire had also breached the roof at that time,” he said.

Officials believe a candle in the back bedroom caused the fire.

The preliminary damage estimate has been placed at approximately $75,000.

There were no injuries. The residents were not home at the time of the fire, according to Froelich.
