Riley County EMS and the Manhattan Fire Department responded to a house fire in the 600 block of Yuma Street in Manhattan Friday around 11 a.m.
When KMAN arrived at the scene the fire had been contained.
RCPD Public Information Officer Matthew Droge told media that emergency officials first responded to a medical call when an officer who happened to be in the area noticed an individual with a severe laceration. While attending to the individual, an involved fire was noticed out of a bedroom of a house at 615 Yuma St.
No one was found in the house at the time of the blaze.
Droge said the fire is being investigated as arson and that it is believed the injured individual is a resident of the house. A press release from the RCPD with more information will be available later today.
