A fire Monday evening appeared to have significantly damaged a small house in East Topeka. No one was hurt.
Firefighters were dispatched at 6:11 p.m. to 709 S.E. Branner, where Battalion Chief Martin Gray said it appeared no one was home when the blaze begin. Firefighters searched the burning building and concluded no one was inside.
Smoke still billowed from the house at 6:30 p.m., and an occasional tongue of flame could be seen from outside.
A damage estimate hadn’t yet been made, and the cause of the blaze remained under investigation.
