A North Platte family lost their home in a fire on Halloween night.
According to the North Platte Fire Department, a call came in shortly after 10:00 pm, reporting a structure fire in the 1800 block of East Sixth Street.
Officials say firefighters arrived and found a garage and adjoining trailer fully engulfed in flames.
Fire crews battled the blaze for about twenty-five minutes and initially ruled the fire “under control” at around 10:40 pm. But, crews had to return to the structure around midnight to address a flare-up.
The garage, home, and a vehicle were all total losses. Scanner traffic indicated that at least one person was transported to the hospital with possible smoke inhalation. No other injuries were reported.
The fire is being investigated by City Fire Marshal George Lewis. The Post expects to have more details tomorrow morning. It is believed that the fire started in the garage.
