Five people, including two police officers, were injured in Bonner Springs house fire on Monday.

First-responders with the Bonner Springs fire and police departments were called to the 500 block of Allcutt Avenue just before 7:15 p.m. Monday on reports of a house fire, according to a news release from Bonner Springs Police Department chief of police William Naff.
