Gallery: Fire destroys house near campus

February 16, 2021 by Owen Simpson and Riley Fisher

A space heater set fire to a house on Cedar Crest Drive near campus Monday night. Firefighters struggled to extinguish the flames because of the city’s lack of a dependable water supply. Paramedics onsite confirmed that residents and their neighbors evacuated safely.
