The Wichita Fire Department responded shortly before noon to the fire in the 3200 block of South Clifton,acting battalion chief Chad Winton said.

A man and a woman were in the yard when crews arrived, Winton said. The man, whose age was unknown, was treated at the scene, he added.

“They did have working smoke detectors,” he said.
