[September 12, 2011]  Saturday at 1:01 p.m. the Lincoln Fire Department responded to a call of a structure fire at 1523 Tremont St.

Upon the arrival of the fire department, all occupants were out of the single-story house. Firefighters entered the structure and extinguished the fire. The fire damaged a room and also caused heavy smoke damage throughout the house. The damage to the house was estimated at $20,000.

Three of the four family members and the family dog were home at the time of the fire. All occupants were able to exit the home. No one was injured during the fire.

The cause of the fire appears to be accidental. However, the fire is still under investigation.
