A fire in a Eudora home displaced three adults and one child early Monday morning.
Eudora police and firefighters were dispatched to the two-story house at 918 Church Street at 12:56 a.m. A resident of the home called 911 reporting a fire in a bedroom.
Police officers were on the scene quickly and ran into the home after learning that one of the residents was still inside. The officers were able to get the resident to go outside.
Firefighters arrived to report light smoke visible from one side of the house.
Radio traffic from firefighters indicated they found a mattress on fire in an upstairs bedroom.
Firefighters worked for about 15 minutes to extinguish the fire.
Medics checked on one resident and two police officers for possible smoke inhalation. All refused transport to a hospital.
The Red Cross has been called to assist the displaced residents.
Fire investigators determined that there were no smoke detectors on the floor where the fire started.
The Eudora City Fire Department posted on their Facebook page reminding followers that free smoke detectors are available by calling 785-542-3653 for an appointment.
