BROKEN BOW — A portable lamp that accidentally came in contact with sawdust and cardboard caused the fire that destroyed six businesses in downtown Broken Bow on Sunday, said state and local fire investigators.
The blaze gutted a brick building that was built in 1889. Damage costs have not yet been estimated.
The fire started around 5 p.m. Sunday in the basement of the Photo Center and spread to the other businesses: Square One, American Family Insurance, Lyne’s Appliance, Lyne’s Antiques and Chapin’s Furniture and Decorating. Each of the businesses have since found temporary homes.
Crews have been taking down the walls of the buildings to ensure that the crumbling walls don’t fall and injure anyone. No injuries were reported during or after the fire.
