CAMBRIDGE, Neb. (AP) — A weekend fire forced two main street businesses to relocate to temporary quarters in the southwest Nebraska town of Cambridge.
The former grocery store building that held First Central Bank of Cambridge and Cambridge Telephone sustained significant damage Sunday morning.
Cambridge fire chief Delaine Soucie says the bank building is a total loss. Nearly 100 firefighters from Cambridge and surrounding towns were needed to extinguish the blaze.
Soucie says the fire was difficult to fight because the building had been remodeled to divide the space, and the two businesses shared a basement.
Bank CEO Don Moore says he’s confident the bank’s vault is OK, and electronic information is backed up once a day.
