Lincoln house fire sparked by unattended burner caused $200,000 in damage
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Lincoln Fire & Rescue says a house is a total loss after a Tuesday morning fire.
LFR spokeswoman MJ Lierman said the home near Second and E streets had $200,000 in damage.
A neighbor called in the fire around 9:30 a.m., after seeing smoke coming from the home.
A stove burner was left on with a pan on top of it, Lierman said, sparking the fire.
The blaze spread from the kitchen to the attic.
No one was inside the home, but a cat died in the fire, Lierman said. Another cat was rescued.
Friends have started a GoFundMe page to help the family that lived in the home.
