A fire in basement of Deterdings Classic Pool and Spa caused extensive damage to contents in the basement and some structural damage Wednesday morning in Kearney. According to KVFD, firefighters entered the business after a fire alarm was set off by heavy smoke and heat conditions in the basement. KVFD said the fire had burned for several hours and by the time they arrived it had almost extinguished itself from a lack of oxygen. They completely put out the fire and then ventilated the building to allow the smoke to escape. The fire had caused a water line in the basement to break and flooded the basement as well. According to KVFD the cause of the fire is still being investigated by the State Fire Marshal’s office but a preliminary investigation showed the fire was likely started by the malfunction of a dehumidifier.
