NORFOLK, Neb. -- Firefighters battled flames and frigid temperatures in northeast Nebraska early Friday.

The Norfolk Fire Division was called to a house near Koenigstein Ave. and 13th St. for an upstairs fire.

Norfolk Fire Capt. Landon Grothe said a call was put in around 8:30 a.m. after a resident heard a "crackling" sound coming from upstairs, discovering the fire.

Norfolk Fire was able to put the fire out, and determined the fire was electrical in nature.

NFD Capt. Landon Grothe said that the fire was due to electrical wiring in the attic. 

The ceiling was reportedly pulled to locate, extinguish and overhaul the structure. 

The resident, who made the call, was the only one home at the time and was able to leave the home unimpeded.

No injuries were reported, and officials said the residents should be able to return after an electrician examines their house.

NFD said crews stayed on scene for two hours ventilating smoke, overhauling and investigating the fire.

A tower, engine and rescue squad were on scene along with 14 firefighters.

Grothe said NFD was assisted by the Norfolk Police Division, NPPD and Black Hills Energy.
