The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating its second structure fire in as many days.
According to Lyon County Deputy Collin Brozek, deputies, Lyon County Rural Fire District 4 and Olpe Firefighters were called to 1341 Road R Friday shortly before 2:20 pm for a structure fire. Upon arrival, crews found heavy smoke coming from the home’s attic.
Brozek says the home’s owner, Deborah Blankley, reported the fire was located in the home’s kitchen. Fire crews managed to extinguish the fire quickly and contained the damage to the kitchen, dining room and living room ceiling.
No residents were inside the home at the time of the fire. The cause and origination point have yet to be determined, however, an investigation is ongoing.
