GREAT BEND, Kan. (KSNW) — Two dogs were found dead after a garage fire in Great Bend Friday.
According to the Wichita Fire Department, it happened in the 1800 block of Broadway Ave., where firefighters were called to the report of a shed fire.
When crews arrived, they found smoke and flames coming from the attached garage and spreading to the attic.
