A fire broke out in
trailer 81 in the Tremont Street Trailer Park at approximately 2:15
p.m. on Monday afternoon. The Lincoln Fire Department responded and
extinguished the fire, which started in a bedroom. The one resident
was awakened by a smoke detector and was able to escape with minor
injuries.
Monday evening Lincoln Fire Chief Mark Miller said that the fire was
caused by smoking materials in the bedroom. He noted that the
trailer was gutted by the fire and will probably be reported as a
total loss.
Later in the evening, Miller spoke to the Lincoln City Council about
the fire and said that it was the smoke detector that saved the
occupant's life. He said it served as a good reminder of the value
of smoke detectors and for the public wanted to be sure and remind
everyone to have working smoke detectors in their homes.
