Firefighters found one person dead after a three-alarm fire that destroyed two structures near downtown Wichita late Saturday.
The fire broke out around 9:45 p.m. at a two-story home near Broadway and Murdock, and it spread to a smaller house to the south. The larger home had been converted into apartments, but both homes were boarded up and thought to be vacant.
The fire was under control within half an hour but crews stayed on the scene throughout the night to watch for hot spots.
No information has been released on the victim, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
