Moving fire causes problems

A house being moved from the Nora vicinity to a prepared site off Highway 4 near Lawrence had an interesting journey. The house was purchased by Joe Kathman from Tom Bargen. The one and a half story house was being moved along county road 3400 near Road R when it snagged a power line.

A small fire, causing minimal damage, broke out along one eave of the house. Firefighters from the Nelson and Lawrence V olunteer Fire Departments responded to the scene and the blaze was quickly extinguished.

A side effect of the fire was that repair crews had to shut off the power in the area. The outage imπpacted the county 911 services number. The Nuckolls County Sheriff’s office posted alternate means to contact emergency services during the outage on social media sites.
