At 2:33 A.M. this morning, Lincoln County Firefighters responded to the 100 block of Country Drive off Hwy. W. for a reported structure fire. On arrival, Firefighters quickly located and contained the fire to a bedroom. A man living at the residence told firefighters he had been smoking in bed, fell asleep and woke up to the bed on fire. Fortunately, the man escaped the home with no injuries.
