Emporia Fire is investigating after two separate house fires Tuesday, one in the morning and one well after sunset.
Firefighters are reporting “extensive” damage inside a house at 414 Wild Turkey after a neighbor noticed smoke shortly after 10:30 pm. Smoke was visible as firefighters arrived a few minutes later.
Nobody was home when the fire started. The cause and origination point are currently unclear.
Firefighters are also investigating after a small fire on the exterior of 926 Lawrence on Tuesday morning. The fire was apparently limited to the northeast corner of the siding and did not extend inside the house. Nobody was hurt. A cause has not been determined.
