MADISON, Wis. — A home on Madison’s south side saw between $40,000 and $60,000 in damage after a fire Thursday afternoon, according to the Madison Fire Department.
Several fire crews responded to the home on Artesian Lane just after 4:30 p.m., but the fire was mostly out when they arrived. They found fully-melted City of Madison trash and recycling bins, which were still smoldering — as was the side of the home.
Firefighters put more water on the smoldering areas to make sure the fire did not spread into the home.
The people living in the home told the fire department they are unsure on what could have caused the fire, and investigators could not determine the cause, either.
Despite the estimated cost of the damage, the family was not displaced.
