When the fire department arrived, all occupants were out of
the house. They said they could smell smoke but could not find
anything. Upon investigation, the fire department discovered an
electrical issue inside the rear wall of the structure.
The fire displaced eight people who lived in the home, and a pet.
The estimated damage to the house was $25,000.
There was mutual aid from off-duty Lincoln Fire Department
members along with Lincoln Rural Fire Protection District, Atlanta
Fire Department, Ameren, Lincoln Police Department, Lincoln Street
Department and Salvation Army.
