TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Firefighters quickly extinguished a blaze at a multi-family dwelling in Topeka. The Topeka Fire Department said in a news release that it responded shortly before 8:30 p.m. Saturday to the two-story structure and made what it calls an “interior offensive attack.” Two occupants who were inside the structure were able to get out unhurt before firefighters arrived.
