ABILENE, Texas — Incense burning too close to other combustibles caused a fire at an Abilene home early Monday morning, the Abilene Fire Department said.
The fire happened at around 4 a.m. Monday in the 600 block of Beech Street. AFD crews found heavy fire in the front room of the home, but were able to quickly stop it from spreading to other homes and confine it to one room.
There was one person at home at the time of the fire and they were able to get out without harm. The American Red Cross was contacted for their help with the person who lived at the home.
AFD said the damage to the home is estimated at around $30,000. The fire was determined to be accidental.
