WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - An elderly person died and two other people were able to escape from a fire Monday morning at a south Wichita home, authorities said.

Two other people, who Kohls said were family members, escaped on their own. One was evaluated by medical personnel and refused transportation to a hospital. No firefighters were injured.
The cause of the fire and a damage estimate have not been determined.
