GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) – Two fires in two days left a Grand
Island family without their home of nine years.
Authorities responded to the home of Matt and Kamra Treffer and
their six children on Saturday night just before 7 p.m..
According to The Grand Island Independent, the fire was blamed
on a candle left burning on a nightstand in the master bedroom of
the single-story house.
No one was hurt. The Treffers went to a nearby motel to spend
the night away from their smoke-damaged home.
They were awakened about 6 a.m. by someone calling to make sure
they weren’t at their home. It was on fire again.
Firefighters blamed a hot spot from Saturday’s fire.
Again, no injuries were reported.
