Fire investigators are looking for a cause in a shed fire in northwest Wichita.

The fire broke out around 3:45 a.m. Thursday at 3210 W. 10th St. N. near 13th and West streets.

Crews responding first on scene found a shed, the size of a single car garage, fully engulfed in flames. A nearby home was also on fire, but investigators say they cannot determine if the fire from the shed spreading to the home is what caused the house to catch fire.

Fire crews searched the shed to find one person, a neighbor, inside attempting to put out the fire. That person suffered a minor injury and refused medical attention.

One person was inside the home at the time the fire started. That person was not injured.

The fire caused minimal damage to the house, but the shed is a total loss. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
