Omaha Building Fire Investigated

Omaha Fire Investigators look into a fire in a vacant apartment building that had evidence of squatters.

They say the fire was around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday in the building along Florence Blvd. near Burdette Street.

The fire was quickly put out, and no injuries are reported.

Investigators say a person was found inside the structure sleeping.

That person was evaluated by paramedics at the scene, refused transport to a hospital and was arrested and booked into Douglas County Corrections for trespass.
