A Lincoln man died in a house fire late Friday night near 57th and Hartley in northeast Lincoln. The fire was reported just before midnight. LFR says when crews arrived they found a small fire and were able to quickly put it out and ventilate the house.
LPD Lt. Jason Wesch tells KLIN News that 66-year-ol William Shelbure died in the fire.
Wesch said that the fire was caused by smoking or using a lighter while on oxygen. The fire caused $159,200 in damage and the house was a total loss.
LFR says two cats also died in the fire.
