Cat killed in Lincoln house fire sparked by unattended burner
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Lincoln Fire & Rescue fought flames Tuesday at a home in the South Salt Creek neighborhood.
The fire was reported just after 9:30 a.m. at a house near Second and E streets.
A neighbor called in the fire after seeing smoke coming from inside the home, LFR spokeswoman MJ Lierman said.
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.
Friends have started a GoFundMe page to help the family that lived in the home.
