Keokuk firefighters continue to investigate the cause of a house fire that injured one resident in the 600 block of North 6th Street a little before 9 p.m. Tuesday night, right across from the Keokuk Public Library. All off-duty firefighters were called to the scene, and the fire, contained to one room, was quickly extinguished. According to WGEM the home’s owner was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation before firefighters arrived on scene. Firefighters say they’ll likely have more information on the fire’s cause after investigators’ work continues.
