MORRILL, Neb. (AP) – Authorities are investigating a western Nebraska fire that destroyed an outbuilding, including a vintage car and a variety of workshop tools.
The Nebraska State Fire Marshal is still investigating the Friday afternoon fire, which destroyed an outbuilding and workshop north of Morrill. Turner says the fire started in the workshop, but the cause has not been determined.
Turner says the building was locked when they arrived, and firefighters had to kick the door in to fight the blaze. He says a pickup inside the building was retrieved, but a renovated 1968 Chevy Chevelle worth about $20,000 was destroyed.
The total damage is estimated at $100,000.
