(KLZA)-- Falls City fire fighters were called to the South Side Bar and Grill early Saturday morning when owner Dion Grier smelled something burning.
Falls City Fire Chief Kenny Simpson said a thermal camera was used to detect a hot spot in the wall near an electrical outlet.
Simpson said there was no fire, but noted the outlet was overloaded with too many things plugged into it, including a space heater.
Chief Simpson asks that everyone be cautious when using space heaters during the cold winter months and says it is not a good idea to use an extension cord with a space heater.
Eight members of the Falls City Volunteer Fire Department responded to the call at 623 Harlan Street and were on the scene for just over 15 minutes.
