HUTCHINSON – Investigators are working to determine the cause of a house explosion and fire at a home in Hutchinson.
The fire at 1502 East 2nd was reported just after 2a.m., according to Hutchinson Police.
Fire crews found the house fully involved with fire venting from all windows of the structure, according to a media release.
Crews brought the fire under control in approximately 25 minutes before entering the structure to complete work on extinguishing the fire.
The only occupant of the home had been removed from the structure prior to fire crews arriving with the assistance of an unknown person.
The woman was located three houses down at a neighbors where Reno County EMS assisted her. She received burns according to fire officials and was transported to a Wichita hospital.
Cause of the fire has been ruled undetermined and officials are not ruling out a gas explosion from a loose fitting on an interior gas line. The home will more than likely be a total loss.
No value on the home was available early Thursday.
