The latest, a fire at 107 W. 4th Street, was reported today (Monday), at 2:23-a.m. Atlantic Fire Chief Mark McNees told KJAN News there was heavy black smoke visible upon arrival and flames coming out the back of the single-story home. Search and Rescue entered the house and discovered no-one was home.
McNees said later the home was vacant because the tenant had moved out this past week.

McNees said the cause of the fire remained undetermined early this morning. He said the scene of the fire was in the back porch area, near the kitchen. An electrical box was found in that general vicinity, but it was unclear if that’s where the fire started.
The second fire at 501 Peach Street in the Sycamore Village area, occurred at around 8:35-p.m. Sunday, and remains under investigation.

Atlantic Fire Chief Mark McNees said when they arrived on the scene, some clothing was on fire on the ground outside the home. Inside the home, there were visible flames on the west end and heavy black smoke coming out of both sides. Firefighters were able to knock the flames down quickly.
The cause of the fire was deemed suspicious, according to McNees, because a domestic situation had occurred earlier, and it wouldn’t have taken much to cause any fire to spread quickly. That’s because there was “Plenty of fuel” in terms of clothing in the bedroom, where it’s believed the fire started.
The couple who shared the home were being interviewed by police Sunday evening.
Funeral services are set for a Griswold teen who died during a rollover accident this past weekend, southeast of Griswold.

The teen died late Saturday morning during a single-vehicle rollover accident on 570th Street, about two-miles south of Highway 92. Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy Corey Larsen told KJAN News Oldenkamp was traveling northbound in a 2006 Chevy Monte Carol, when for reasons unknown, he lost control of the car. The vehicle entered the west ditch and rolled twice before coming to rest upright. Oldenkamp was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene.
