Several fire departments respond to fire near Cheney Reservoir

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Several fire departments responded to a fire southeast of Cheney Reservoir Tuesday evening.

The report of a building fire came in at 5:25 p.m. near the intersection of West 21st Street North and North 391st Street West.

Cheney Fire said the first units to respond found a building fully engulfed in flames. They pulled a water line when the roof started to collapse.

There were issues with electrical on the back of the building, Cheney Fire said.

Because there were no fire hydrants in the area, crews brought 1,000-gallon tankers to get as much water on the scene as they could.

Responding fire crews include Cheney Fire Rescue, Colwich Fire Department, Mount Hope Fire Department and Sedgwick County Fire Stations 31 and 32.

The structure is a total loss, and the cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
