Lincoln Fire and Rescue crews were sent to a home near 14th and Alvo Road in far northwest Lincoln around 1:20 Thursday afternoon. Captain John Reed tells KLIN News a resident went to the garage, saw smoke and called 911.
“LFR arrived forced entry into the garage and found heavy smoke.” Reed says it appears an oven inside the garage caught fire. “The fire was contained to the oven and surrounding area, didn’t really get into the structure.”
He says working smoke detectors were able to alert the resident and allow them to get out of the house and call 911.
