A two-alarm fire severely damages a south Lima home. Lima firefighters were called out to 633 S. Scott Street just after 9 a.m. Wednesday morning. Fire officials say the fire started in the rear of the home, where the smoke and fire did the most damage. The fire reached the attic. No one was home when the fire started, but the Red Cross was called in to assist the people that lived there.

People who came to donate at the branch received a Red Cross umbrella and with a valid e-mail also received an e-gift card for a movie pass from Fandango.
