Northwest Omaha House Fire Cause Determined

Omaha Fire investigators say an early morning house fire was determined to be caused by carelessly discarded smoking materials, accidental in nature.

The fire was in the one a.m. hour near 97th Avenue and Fort Street, and though fire and smoke were seen by arriving firefighters, they quickly brought the fire at the back of the place under control.

Investigators say everyone inside evacuated prior to the arrival of firefighters.

No injuries were reported.
