At approximately 11:34 p.m. (Wednesday June 13) the Lincoln Fire
Department was dispatched to a house fire. A neighbor heard the
smoke alarm in the house and called 911. The only person home at the
time of the fire was out when the fire department arrived. The
person at home was checked for smoke inhalation but refused to go to
the hospital.
The Lincoln fire
department’s entry team encountered heavy smoke throughout and
flames coming out of the rear of the structure near the back door.
The approximate damage to the structure is $100,000.00.
The fire displaced
four people that lived in the home, two adults and two children ages
3 and 8 years old. The family did lose two of the five pets that
lived there also.
The American Red
Cross was on scene before the Lincoln Fire Department cleared, to
assist the family.
No firefighters
were injured.
