Hutch Fire Department responds to area fire
June 2, 2025
Three dogs died in a house fire Thursday evening in the 7000 block of North Lorraine, according to the Hutchinson Fire Department.
Fire crews were dispatched to the residence at 7:47 p.m. after receiving reports of a structure fire. While en route, firefighters were informed that the home’s occupants were not inside, but several dogs remained in the structure.
Upon arrival, firefighters found smoke coming from the front door and fire coming from the rear of the single-family home. Crews launched an aggressive interior attack while also searching for occupants and pets.
Because the house was located in a non-hydrated area, rural water supply operations were initiated. Crews were able to knock down the fire quickly and remove three dogs from the home. Despite attempts to resuscitate them using specialized animal lifesaving equipment, all three dogs died from their injuries.
No injuries were reported among residents or emergency personnel. One occupant received assistance from the American Red Cross. The home sustained significant smoke and fire damage throughout, officials said.
