 According to Chief Chad Letterle, Lincoln Rural responded to
the fire with mutual aid from the city of Lincoln, Atlanta, Beason
and Hartsburg.Letterle said the fire had started in the attic of
the home. The city fire department from Lincoln was first on the
scene and made entry into the home, with Lincoln Rural following
shortly behind.
As the blaze progressed, Letterle said the roof was ablaze and
posing a danger to firefighters, so they were pulled out of the
interior of the home and worked to control and knock out the blaze
from the outside.
Firefighters stayed on the scene until 1:30 Friday morning. When
they pulled out the full crews, they left one vehicle and two
firefighters on hand to watch for hot spots.
