Gering and Scottsbluff firefighters battled fire at a Gering residence early Tuesday morning. Fire crews were called to a residence at 1950 Fourth Street shortly after 3 a.m. Gering firefighters responded, with the residents of the home reporting that the fire had started in the closet of an upstairs' closet, according to scanner traffic. Scottsbluff Fire responded, providing mutual aid, and then, with the fire having become fully-involved, its Tower One truck has been mobilized. The Nebraska Fire Marshal has also been contacted to respond. Carissa Smith, of Firefighter Ministry, said a family of four has been displaced in the fire. She said the organization would assist the family with a motel for a week, and food and clothing vouchers.
