NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — A North Platte man who spotted a fire underneath a van couldn’t extinguish it before the flames spread to a home.

The Saturday afternoon fire heavily damaged the van and home, but didn’t cause injuries.

Jay Miller was driving by when he noticed the fire, and tried to put it out with the extinguisher he carries in his truck. Miller says the fire was spreading too fast for him to stop.

Three people and a dog who were in the house at the time were able to get out safely.

The family that lived in the home was in the process of moving out.

North Platte Battalion Chief Jason Trimble says the other half of the duplex that caught fire escaped without significant damage.
