No injuries were reported after a house fire in Leonardville Wednesday.
Riley County Fire Chief Pat Collins says firefighters were called out to 216 South Urpelding shortly before noon, for a small fire in the home’s living room. Collins says it was started after the resident dropped a cigarette onto an oxygen tank.
Firefighters were on scene within about five minutes and extinguished the fire before it could spread further. The home sustained minimal damage, estimated around $1,000 and the resident. The homeowner is listed as Jeri Hollar.
About 13 firefighters from Riley County, Leonardville, Riley and Keats responded to the scene.
