 Painters were stripping balusters on a stairwell when steel wool
rubbed over an outlet, causing a spark that ignited fumes from a
nearby can.
The fire was contained to the front entry, hall and porch. Smoke
affected the upstairs.
Mrs. Holland was not in the home at the time of the incident.
The box alarm brought out city of Lincoln firemen, off-duty
firemen and Lincoln Rural Fire Department.
