Residents flee from Lincoln house fire

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Residents have fled from a fire in a Lincoln house that had been checked earlier in the day for smoke.

Lincoln television station KLKN (https://bit.ly/1h3FxWf ) says the fire was reported a little before 9 p.m. Sunday. The fire started in a back room of the house and spread into the attic.

Officials say firefighters had been sent to the home earlier Sunday to check on a smoky smell, but neither smoke nor its source was found.

The fire cause is being investigated.
