A kitchen fire Tuesday that damaged a south Lincoln home is believed to have been caused by a malfunctioning air fryer, Lincoln Fire and Rescue spokesperson MJ Lierman said.
Crews responded to a residence near 56th Street and Elkcrest Drive at about 5:35 p.m., Lierman said.
Once the fire started, the occupants called 911 and left the home. The fire was contained in the kitchen, and LFR was able to quickly extinguish it.
Lierman said the damage caused by the fire is estimated at $75,000.
There were no injuries reported.
