Officials say damage was limited in a house fire in Scottsbluff Friday morning.
Scottsbluff Fire was called to a structure fire in the 2400 block of Avenue F around 6:00 a.m. Friday, June 21, finding smoke coming from the roof structure on their arrival.
Fire Chief Tom Schingle says crews quickly extinguished a fire in a wall and attic space. Damage was relatively minimal and is estimated at approximately $5,000.
Schingle says the fire was caused by an arcing electrical cable, but is still under investigation as to what caused the arcing.
