A fire at a North Platte home that seriously injured a man has been ruled accidental.

According to North Platte Fire Marshal, George Lewis, Tuesday’s fire at 313 West D was caused by the improper disposal of smoking materials.

The fire, which started in the home’s basement, was reported to the North Platte Fire Department at around 10:30 a.m.

Firefighters were on the scene within minutes and gained entry into the home.

Once inside, they found 58-year-old Randy Mills who was not breathing and did not have a pulse.

Battalion Chief, Trent Kleinow, said paramedics immediately administered CPR and were able to revive Mills.

He was transported to Great Plains Regional Center before being transported to a Lincoln Hospital with burns to his airway.

Officials say they have not received any updates on Mills’ condition.

The home sustained major smoke damage.
