Electrical attic fire destroys East Lawrence home
Investigators ruled an electrical fire started in an unfinished attic portion of a Lawrence residence Sunday. The home at 1116 New Jersey St. was a total loss with residents safely outside. Firefighters fought from outside due to attic walls obstructing interior access. The fire was under control by 12:30 p.m. and investigators continue to pin down the electrical cause. Owner Donald Mellenbruch, who has lived there over 30 years, suspects an electrical problem. Police were alerted at 11:35 a.m. by the resident who woke to smoke.
