Flames engulf a home at 1779 E. 1338 Road around 11 a.m. Monday. The Wakarusa Township Fire Department responded first to the blaze, and was aided by several other township units. Nobody was home at the time of the fire.
Firefighters from at least a half-dozen departments are battling a house fire just north of the Lawrence city limits.
The fire in the 1700 section of East 1338 Road started just before 11 a.m. today.
A neighbor called 911 after noticing smoke coming from the garage and flames on the front porch.
Neighbors say a woman and her adult son live in the house, but believe both were at work at the time of the fire. The Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross is on the scene providing assistance.
