No Injuries Reported In Beaver Dam House Fire

A house sustained major damage in a fire yesterday in the city of Beaver Dam.

Just before 7:30 PM, the Beaver Dam Fire Department was dispatched to 214 east Third Street for a report of a porch on fire.

When fire crews arrived on scene, fire could be seen on the first and second levels of the home.

Because of the extent of the fire, mutual aid was requested from several surrounding area fire departments.

Firefighters encountered heavy fire conditions but were able to bring the fire under control within a half hour.

Crews remained on scene for several hours to conduct overhaul operations and ensure the fire was fully extinguished.

Two residents were home at the time of the fire. One was able to exit the building while the second resident was upstairs and had to escape through a second-story window onto the roof. Neighbors were able to safely assist that person down off the roof.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
