A fire reportedly broke out at a house in a southwest Bettendorf neighborhood.
The fire was reported in the 1500 block of Lincoln Road around 7:45 a.m., Wednesday, January 17th.
Multiple fire crews worked together to put out the flames, focusing on the garage, where the fire is believed to have started.
Neighbors at the scene said a veteran lives in the house by himself. A spokesperson from the Bettendorf Police Department said he was the only person inside the home at the time and that he made it out safely.
"I saw the flames and didn't realize it was Max's house until I went down there," said a neighbor. "I was just happy that he's okay. I can't wait to just see him, you know?"
