Northeast Lincoln home fire causes more than 0,000 in damage, displaces family

Lincoln Fire and Rescue responded to a fire at a northeast Lincoln home early Saturday morning that caused more than $100,000 in damage, according to LFR spokesman MJ Lierman.

LFR responded to a residence near North 56th and Knox streets around 12:20 a.m. following a report of a fire, Lierman said.

The occupants inside managed to evacuate the house without being injured.

Crews extinguished the fire quickly after arriving, Lierman said.

LFR estimates damage at $100,000 to the structure and $30,000 to the contents of the house.

The building became uninhabitable due to the damage, forcing the family to move.

Beginning at 6 a.m., various members of UNL ROTC chapters, first responders from the Lancaster area and former military personnel began a silent stair-climbing exercise that involves climbing 2,071 stairs, or about 110 floors. That’s how many stairs first responders climbed at the World Trade Center trying to rescue people from the towers. The cadets only count the stairs going up, not the ones going down. They represent the first responders who never had a chance to descend safely.
