MADISON, Wis. — A battery pack may be to blame for a fire that caused $125,000 in damage to a Madison home last month.
A home in the 900 block of Tony Drive caught fire on September 3. Madison Fire Department officials said the fire originated in a lower-level bedroom. The family who lives at the home was not there at the time of the fire.
