MADISON, Wis. — A fire at a home on Madison’s south side was started by cigarettes, Madison Fire Department officials said Tuesday.
Crews were called to the 2900 block of Turbot Drive just before 3:40 a.m. Tuesday. A small fire had broken out on the deck of the home and was near the building.
Firefighters put out the flames, then checked inside to make sure the fire hadn’t spread. Gray smoke was found indoors, but crews confirmed the fire had been contained to the deck.
MFD’s Investigation Team found that the fire was likely caused by improperly discarded cigarettes. No injuries were reported.
