Fire Destroys Garage, Damages Two Other Structures in Waupun

A
garage was destroyed and two other structures damaged by a fire in the City of Waupun Tuesday night. The
Waupun Fire Department was called to a home in the 200 block of Monroe Street just
before 11 pm. Upon arriving, fire crews found a garage that was completely
engulfed and that the fire had spread to the house and a neighboring garage.
Firefighters were able to quickly put out the fire that had extended to the
house and the neighboring garage, but both structures sustained moderate
damage. Firefighters were on scene for about four hours fighting the garage
fire. A roof collapse and limited access to the structure made it difficult to
put out. Four people living in the home were able to get out safely and were
staying with family due to the fire damage. No firefighters were injured while
battling the fire. Assisting at the scene were Waupun Police, the City of
Waupun Department of Public Works, Lifestar Ambulance and Alliant Energy.
