Five Shawnee firefighters were transported to area hospitals after responding to a basement fire late Tuesday. Shawnee Fire Chief Rick Potter says firefighters were called to the home at 4610 Silverheel Street at 9:10 p.m. Arriving firefighters reported smoke visible from the front side of the house as they began an interior attack on the fire. “During the time that crews were fighting the fire, we had a partial collapse inside the building, and a mayday was called at 9:31,” Chief Potter told reporters at the scene. “We did have firefighters that were rescued from the building.”
