October 15, 2020

Orchard Fire and Rescue Department responded to a house fire, Thursday, Oct. 8, at 436 Noble Street.

The call was issued at approximately 10 p.m. According to Antelope County deputy John Shaver, the dwelling's resident, Andrew Clifton, escaped from the home without injury.

Shaver said the cause of the fire is undetermined. The Nebraska State Fire Marshal's office is investigating.

"I should have the report in two to three weeks," Shaver said. Details about the fire were not released at this time.

Royal Fire Department also responded to the call, which was extinguished by the time Shaver arrived on scene.

"The fire was put down in short time," he said.

Antelope County Sheriff's Office deputies, along with the two fire departments, established a perimeter and remained on scene for several hours.

The Nebraska State Patrol was advised about the situation, according to Shaver.
