An accidental flu fire off Nichols and Newton in north Springfield left a family of six without a home for the night.

Captain Rex Freeze tells KTTS News the fire started in the flu, but caught a few other things on fire - forcing crews to rip out part of the electrical system to get it all under control.

The American Red Cross is helping the four kids and their parents with temporary shelter.
