(KAIR)--No injuries were reported – but some structural damage resulted from a chimney fire that broke out early Monday morning at an Atchison home.
According to Atchison Fire Chief Ted Graf, crews were dispatched to the residence at 601 Atchison Street shortly after midnight.
Graf says fire crews could see flames when they pulled out onto the apron since the residence is only one block north of the fire station.
He said the fire was not in the flue, but in a wooden enclosure around the chimney that had recently been built.
Graf says that the house received some smoke and water damage, but is likely still habitable. A damage estimate wasn't immediately available.
Graf says the homeowners were home when the fire broke out, but got out safely.
