At 8:28 a.m., the Manhattan Fire Department was dispatched to 519 Pierre St. for a report of a structure fire. Upon arrival, crews found a two-story house that had been converted to an office for Big Brothers Big Sisters, with fire coming from multiple windows in the rear of the building. The fire reached a second alarm before it was contained within 90 minutes.\u00a0 The fire was knocked down within 20 minutes, but it took another hour to fully extinguish fire in concealed spaces. A total of 20 firefighters responded on 5 fire apparatus, with the last fire units clearing at around 11:00 a.m. No injuries were reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loss is estimated at $10,000 to contents and $175,000 to the structure. The owner is listed as Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters Inc. The cause is under investigation at this time.<\/p>\n
Thanks to our partners, Riley County Fire District #1 responded with a mobile air unit, Riley County EMS provided rehabilitation for firefighters, and Riley County PD provided scene security.<\/p>\n
