The Scottsbluff Fire Department continues to investigate a structural fire on Saturday night in Scottsbluff that was fully engulfed at E 28th Ave on Saturday night.  

Scottsbluff Fire Department Captain Justin Houstoun tells Panhandle Post that the SFD was called at around 6:30 on Saturday and when they arrived, they found extensive fire coming through the roof of the home.  

Houstoun said they did an extensive search of the home and there were no occupants inside, but the roof of the structure did collapse. There were no injuries, as they did find a cat that survived and they returned to their owners. 

A cause to the fire has been named at this time as the fire remains under investigation. 

Scottsbluff Police, Gering Fire and Valley Ambulance all assisted on scene.
