UPDATE: 4 people displaced by early morning Lincoln apartment fire

Callers say it started on a balcony and fast-moving flames spread from there

UPDATE 6 a.m. — Authorities tell Channel 8’s Nathan Greve that four people have been displaced by this morning’s fire.

We also now know no one was injured in all of this.

Right now damage amounts are still being tallied.

We also learned the flames didn’t make it inside any of the apartments, limiting the damage.

Officials credit the smoke alarms for helping everyone evacuate quickly.

They also tell us the fire started on a second story balcony, on the south side of the building.

Still no word on what caused this in the first place.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — An early morning apartment fire led to evacuations in Lincoln this morning.

Callers first reported flames spreading from a balcony just before 5 o’clock, at the Thomasbrook Apartments near 5800 Lillibridge Street.

Residents tried to get it under control themselves by dumping water on it, but could not extinguish the blaze.

At least 12 units were brought in to help battle the fire.

The Red Cross was also called to help people who won’t be able to return home.
