KEARNEY — A Kearney dog is without its home today after an early morning structure fire.

About 1:55 a.m., Kearney Volunteer Fire Department firefighters were called to 2405 Ave. G because a wooden doghouse was on fire. When firefighters arrived, the doghouse was fully engulfed.

The doghouse sat on the north side of the home. According to a Kearney Police Department incident report, the dog’s owner had an electric bed warmer in the doghouse that is believed to have malfunctioned and started the fire.

The dog, whose breed and age were unknown late this morning, was uninjured. The doghouse was a total loss.
