(KAIR )-An Atchison house was damaged by fire Monday morning.
Atchison Fire Chief Pat Weishaar said firefighters were paged to 1426 1st Avenue around 9:00.
Weishaar said when crews arrived, they found heavy smoke and flames coming from the single-family home.
He said bystanders said the home was unoccupied and was being used for storage.
Due to the amount of storage inside the structure, he said crews were unable to enter and the fire had to be extinguished from outside.
Crews remained on scene under the fire could be brought under control, eventually making entry to extinguish the remaining fire. Weishaar said firefighters were able to salvage several items for the owner, including a large chest full of family photos.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The Atchison Police Department and Atchison County EMS assisted.
