Two dogs die in a house fire in southeast Wichita.
Crews were called to the 2000 block of S. Elpyco around 8:45 Friday evening. That’s in a neighborhood near Mt. Vernon and Oliver. When crews arrived they found smoke and flames coming from a home.
No people were home at the time, but three dogs were inside the house. Firefighters on scene say two of the dogs died, and the third was taken to a veterinarian.
Investigators believe the fire started in a back bedroom of the home, but they have not pinpointed a cause yet. Damage is estimated between $50,000 and $60,000.
