The firefighters started putting the fire out while ensuring no one else was in the home. At some point, the Wichita Fire Department was also sent to help. The crews got the fire out and kept it from spreading outside the room where it started.
Sedgwick County fire investigators say that the home was being renovated. They say the fire started because a space heater was too close to upholstered furniture. The damage is estimated at around $15,000.
