(BANNER COUNTY, Neb.) -- Yesterday, another structure fire. There's a follow up on Tuesday's structure fire on West 19th Street in Scottsbluff on our Facebook page and on paenhandlescanner.com, but yesterday around 1.32 p.m. scanner traffic indicated a structure fire on Highway 88 West. Banner County Volunteer Fire Department was called out, Mutual Aid was requested from Gering Fire Department as well as Scottsbluff Rural Fire. The family reportedly lost everything and they're still looking for some things like coats, jackets, shoes, hair ties, anything possible. Please see our post on our Panhandle Scanner Facebook page on that structure fire on West 88.

(CHADRON, Neb.) -- Due to radio repeaters and the internet, we have a lot of listeners up in the Chadron area, and when we posted that the Chadron Pizza Hut was closing, the post went viral. According to the corporate website, Pizza Hut plans to close more stores in 2026.

(LINCOLN, Neb.) -- Nebraska Senator Terrell McKinney from the Omaha district is proposing the lowering of the voting age to 16, and in further state level action, Governor Jim Pillen signed an executive order requiring state agencies to review applicable laws, relevant rules and regulations regarding the use of synthetic THC in food beverages and other products intended for human consumption. In Nebraska synthetic is illegal and natural medical marijuana is legal, but the state legislators have failed to write the policies, creating an awful gray area for law enforcement around the state.

On Tuesday evening, scanner traffic indicated a call from an individual whose power was out and reported flames coming from inside his wall. That was several minutes before the actual call came out to the fire department that said, "possible structure fire on West 19th and Avenue H. East of that location, north side of the roadway. House full of smoke." Everyone got out, but the fire did serious damage. You can find that video on our Facebook page and a follow up report from the fire department as soon as that press release is issued.
