Emergency crews responded to a structure fire in Schoenchen Saturday afternoon.  Chief Dale Befort with Ellis County Rural Fire Department Company 5 told Hays Post that around 20 firefighters from crews in Ellis County Rural Fire and the Schoenchen Fire Department responded to the call.

Befort said the building, which was a total loss due to the extent of the damage,  was a mobile home located in northern Schoenchen off Church St.  Crews spent approximately 1 1/2 hours fighting the blaze.

One person was treated for minor cuts and burns by EMS at the scene and did not require further medical attention.  No other injuries were reported.  The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
