Damage is estimated at $200 thousand after a fire at a home under construction at 1247 Avenue J South. Fire fighters were called out shortly after four o’clock this morning (fri) and arrived to find flames showing on the exterior of the home. A fire investigator says it began near an electrical box in the basement. The gas supply was shut off to the home and technicians were called in to shut down the remaining utilities as crews battled back the flames for about 70 minutes. The fight included tearing off siding and cutting into walls. There were no injuries. The fire is believed to have been accidental.
