LINCOLN, Neb. -- Lincoln Fire and Rescue said there's extensive damage to about half of a northwest Lincoln home that caught fire late Monday night.
The call came in just after 11:00 p.m. for a house on fire near northwest 3rd Street and northwest Tudor Lane in the Highlands neighborhood.
Battalion Chief Mark Majors said firefighters arrived to heavy fire and smoke coming from the back side of the structure. He said crews worked to extinguish the flames from the outside before working inside. Majors said that the fire spread to the attic area, causing further damage to the home.
No injuries have been reported and Chief Majors said one dog was rescued from inside the home by firefighter.
The cause and the amount of damage are expected to be released sometime today.
