A bedroom suffered some damage because of a fire in Emporia on Monday.
Emporia Fire was dispatched to 626 Woodland, finding a small fire inside the house and light smoke coming out of the eaves. The fire was put out quickly. No injuries were reported.
Battalion Chief Eron Steinlage says there was an unspecified electrical issue. A bed and several other contents were destroyed. The fire was limited to the bedroom.
Noon Monday:
Emporia Fire is now investigating its fourth structure fire in three days.
Fire crews are currently on the scene of what appears to be a small fire at 626 Woodland. Crews were toned out around 11:15 am. Details beyond that are currently pending. No injuries have been reported.
This follows a small, apparently fireplace-related fire at 1120 Chestnut on Sunday and two fires of undetermined cause on Friday: one that damaged a dwelling and two other structures at 1302 East, followed by a fire that damaged a home at 2207 Bayfront.
