Firefighter sustains minor injury in Monday morning fire On
July 23 at 1:31 a.m. the Lincoln Fire Department responded to a
structure fire at 1027 Pulaski St. The fire was discovered by a
neighbor.
When firefighters arrived at the single-story wood-framed
structure, they discovered fire in both the basement and first
floor. The firefighters were able to extinguish the fire with two 1
3/4-inch lines. The fire damaged some structural components of the
home and caused severe smoke and heat damage throughout. The total
cost of the damage is estimated to be around $100,000.
The sole occupant of the home had been staying with relatives and
was not home at the time of the fire. One firefighter suffered a
minor shoulder injury during the fire.
Firefighters from the Lincoln Fire Department were assisted by
firefighters from Lincoln Rural, Atlanta and Mount Pulaski.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, so the official
classification is currently undetermined.
