At least two people suffered critical injuries in a house fire reported Wednesday evening in the 2100 block of South Water, near Mount Vernon and South Broadway.
Wichita Fire Department Captain Scott Trask said crews responded to the call a little before 6:30 p.m. and found heavy smoke coming from a house off the main street, behind another home. From that scene, two people were taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
As of Wednesday night, a possible cause of the fire hadn’t been confirmed. Trask said the two people injured in the fire live at the home.
