Katt’s Place, a popular bar/restaurant in Lakeview Heights had a serious fire Thursday night, October 24. The Lakeview Heights Fire Department had been called earlier in the afternoon and after they believed all danger of fire had passed, had left.
An area resident called the department back after they saw flames in the structure. The flames soon turned into a major fire that had not only Lakeview heights on the scene but also the Stover Rural Fire department, Lincoln Fire and the Cole Camp Rescue.
The group of dedicated fire fighters did manage to save two of the structures but the bar/restaurant is a complete loss. According to sources the owners plan to rebuild.
