Fire Razes Gretna Home of Former Husker Football Player

fire-graphicGRETNA, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a fire has razed a suburban Omaha home belonging to a former Nebraska football player.

No injuries have been reported from the Gretna fire, which was reported a little after 6 a.m. Wednesday. Sarpy County records say the 2,900-square-foot ranch-style home is registered to Aaron Graham. He was the Huskers starting center from 1992 through 1995 and spent six seasons in the National Football League. The Huskers recruited him out of Denton, Texas.

Gretna Fire Chief Rod Buethe (BEE’-thee) says Graham and his family escaped unharmed from the blaze, which he says likely was touched off by a lightning strike. He says the state fire marshal’s office is investigating.

Graham didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.
