LINCOLN, Neb. - A three-story building in downtown Lincoln has been destroyed by fire.

Bruce Sellon of the Lincoln Fire Department told the Journal Star that the fire that broke out Sunday at adult novelty store Romantix appears to be accidental. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Firefighters were called to the scene just before 9 a.m. The roof and part of the building collapsed as crews were extinguishing the blaze.

The fire sent smoke billowing through downtown Lincoln. A nearby building was evacuated as a precaution, and streets in the area were blocked off.

Lincoln Fire Chief Niles Ford says the Romantix building is a total loss and adjacent businesses may have smoke damage.

No injuries were reported.
