(KAIR)--A Tuesday morning Horton fire left vehicles and one apartment with extensive damage.
It happened at 700 West 11th Street, with Fire Chief Randy Mayfield telling MSC News Horton Fire Fighters were called to that location around 8:45 Tuesday morning.
When they arrived, suppression efforts were successful in battling the blaze, which Mayfield believes began when a short in a garage door opener led to the garage catching fire. The fire then spread to two cars parked inside the garage, and to another parked outside, substantially damaging all three.
The effort of the fire fighters was able to keep the fire from spreading to the rest of the apartment complex, which likely incurred smoke damage but no structural damage, unlike the unit involved in the initial blaze.
No injuries were incurred by members of the fire crew, or occupants of the complex.
Firefighters from Everest and the Kickapoo Tribe assisted at the scene.
