Sunday morning between 10 & 11 a-m the Falls City Rural Fire Department was called to the home of Bear and Dessie Scholl about six-and-a-half miles north of Falls City.  Items stored in the garage of the home caught on fire.  

The only damage was from smoke and was described as minimal. The items on fire were pulled from the garage and extinguished using buckets of water.  

Also on Sunday the Falls City Volunteer Fire Department responded to an alarm at Falls City Nursing and Rehabilitation at 1720 Burton Drive.  

The sprinkler system in the north wing of the building broke and when the water started to run is set off the alarm.  13 fire fighters responded to the call and helped cleanup the water.  No injuries were reported.
