No injuries were reported after a house caught fire near 45th and Madison around 3:20 Wednesday morning. Public Information Officer MJ Lierman says flames were coming from the front of the house when crews arrived and they were able to put the fire out quickly.
Public Information Officer MJ Lierman says there have been issues with squatters using the home. “The house had actually been white-flagged, meaning there should not be any occupants inside.”
She says the fire was contained to the outside of the house. Damage is estimated at $60,000 and no one was hurt.
