Just before 2:30a.m., fire crews responded to a house fire in the 300 Block of South Vassar in Wichita, according to Captain Jose Ocadiz.

The calling party was inside the home at the time of the 911 call and as fire crews responded, according to Ocadiz.

Upon arrival, first responders found smoke and fire coming from the front of the home.  The engine company fire captain forced open the back door and found a female victim and pulled her to safety. She was transported code red to the Via Christi Burn Unit, according Ocadiz.

The fire investigation unit determined the fire was started by someone smoking while on oxygen, according to Ocadiz.

Damage to the home was approximately $40,000.  Red Cross responded to assist two others victims including a grandchild at the home.

Priest defrocked for alleged child abuse still holds Kan. medical license

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A former Kansas priest still holds medical licenses in Kansas and Missouri despite being defrocked this year after Archdiocese of Kansas City leaders determined that he abused three minors decades ago.

The Missouri Board of Registration for the Healing Arts is investigating the allegations against 71-year-old John Wisner, who remains a licensed psychiatrist in both states. The Kansas board declined to comment on whether it was looking into Wisner’s case.

Wisner declined to comment on the allegations or the investigation. It’s unclear if he’s still practicing medicine.

Patrick Wall is a former Catholic priest who works as an investigator for a law firm that represents sexual abuse victims. Wall says the Kansas archdiocese should’ve reported Wisner to licensing boards when it learned of the allegations six years ago.
