Clothing donations are needed for family
KEOKUK, IOWA -- A Keokuk family says an early warning from working smoke detectors in their home got them out of a burning home safely.
Firefighters with the Keokuk Fire Department were called to a home at 314 Belknap Place Monday evening around 6:50. They are still investigating what sparked the fire, however early reports indicate the cause of the fire was electrical in nature.
Fifty percent of the home was damaged.
Smoke detectors alerted a woman, her daughter and grandchildren inside at the time to evacuate. No injuries were reported. Red Cross assisted them with overnight arrangements.
While the house was not a total loss, the fire was upstairs where all of the children's bedrooms were. All of their clothes, toys and bedding was completely destroyed.
Donations are needed for the Daniels family.
