Fire damages Eastborough house

Wichita fire crews handled a fire that damaged a large Eastborough house midday Monday.

No one was injured, said Battalion Chief Sid Newby.

A preliminary estimate of damage to the structure alone: $30,000.

Firefighters will remain on scene to make sure it doesn’t flare back up, he said.

The two-story house is on Highland, just northwest of Douglas and Woodlawn.

It wasn’t clear whether someone was home when the fire began, Newby said.

A cause had not been determined.
