Blaze Blamed On Too Much Firewood
No one was injured in a Lincoln house fire Saturday night blamed on too much wood being in the fireplace.
Flames destroyed one of the upstairs bedrooms and damaged the exterior and roof of the home on Devoe Drive, southwest of South 84th and A streets.
LFD Inspector Damon Robbins said the cause of the fire was too much fuel in the wood fireplace. The intense heat radiated from the flu and ignited the wood. He said the residents had just removed their smoke detectors for some renovation work and were lucky to have been awake to notice the smoke.
Early estimates put the damage at about $85,000.
