NACOGDOCHES, Texas (KETK) – A generator that caught on fire spread flames through a Nacogdoches home Monday night causing heavy damage, according to the Lilbert-Looneville VFD.
Photos share by the VFD, show huge flames shooting from the roof of a two-story brick home at 748 CR 839 in the Nat community.
“First arriving units found a large generator on fire which spread thru the eave of the house into the second floor/attic,” said the Facebook post.

Firefighters from throughout the region converged on the house to put out the fire.
The VFD stressed that people need to be careful when they are using generators.
