Dog killed in house fire east of Kearney
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A dog was killed Tuesday night in a house fire in rural Buffalo County, the sheriff’s office says.
Volunteer fire crews from Gibbon, Shelton and Kearney battled the fire at a home near Navaho and 39th roads, just east of Kearney.
Investigators think a lightning strike started the fire. People inside the home made it out safely, but a dog died in the fire.
In a post on Facebook, the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office thanked the firefighters for their “swift and courageous efforts.”
“Your commitment to our community does not go unnoticed,” the agency said.
