A home south of Valley Center suffered heavy damage in a fire that likely started because of an electrical malfunction.
Wichita Fire Lt. Kelly Zane said the fire at 5466 N Charles on September 1 started in an exterior wall where the electrical service enters the home. Crews had to wait for Westar workers to disconnect electricity to the house before they could attack the fire.
Damage to the home was estimated at $20,000 and $15,000 to the contents. No one was hurt. The fire was reported about 4 p.m.
