Omaha House Fire Ruled Accidental

Omaha Fire Investigators say the cause of a house fire was accidental in nature: an electrical problem near common combustibles.

The fire was Monday afternoon near 123rd and Binney Streets.

Arriving firefighters reported large amounts of smoke and fire from the garage area.

Those inside escaped before the fire department arrived, and there were no injuries reported, but three people are displaced.

Investigators say the fire was under control in about fifteen minutes, and damage was contained to the garage area and the attic space.
