OK...TODAY, A BETTER LOOK AT THE FIRE PHOTO THAT WAS UP HERE LAST NIGHT,
SIDEWAYS. NOTHING NEW ON THE FIRE OTHER THAN CAPT. JAMES CONNOLLY OF THE MAQUOKETA FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID
IT IS STILL NOT KNOWN WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE. THE FIRE IS STILL UNDER
INVESTIGATION AND NOT CONSIDERED
SUSPICIOUS. HE SAID FIREFIGHTERS WERE ABLE TO SAVE MANY BELONGINGS IN THE UPSTAIRS APARTMENT AND THAT
DOWNSTAIRS HAD SMOKE AND WATER DAMAGE. HE ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO THE HOME AT $50,000. THE HOUSE
IS OWNED BY DAN AND KAREN BREITBACH
WHO OWN THE DOWNTOWN FLOOR
COVERING BUSINESS IN MAQUOKETA AND
WHO JUST OVER 4 YEARS AGO, LOST THEIR
BUILDING IN MAQUOKETA'S BIG DOWNTOWN FIRE. CLICK-ON THE PHOTO
