Self cleaning oven responsible for fire that damaged Fond du Lac County home

What started as a home owner using their self cleaning feature on their oven, turned into a structure fire yesterday on County Highway G south of Highway 23 in the town of Forest.

Just after 1 PM, Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s office deputies along with the St Cloud and Mt Calvary Fire departments were dispatched to the residence. Upon arrival, crews found fire in the kitchen area and requested mutual aid from numerous other departments from Fond du Lac and Sheboygan County. The fire was contained to the kitchen, but much of the house sustained smoke damage.
