Medical crews took a woman to a Lincoln hospital with non-life-threatening burn injuries after her house caught fire Friday morning, a Lincoln Fire and Rescue official said.
Hoarded items cluttering the home at 2508 D St. helped spread the fire, which was sparked by an electrical issue with the refrigerator, saidÌýLincoln Fire Investigator Chuck Schweitzer.
"She was pretty fortunate to get out of that house," Schweitzer said.
The fire broke out around 6:15 a.m., and fire crews arrived to find extensive fire and heat, Battalion Chief Leo Benes said.
Schweitzer estimated damage to the home at $50,000, likely rendering it a total loss.
The home was valued for tax purposes at $22,100.
