LITTLE CHUTE, Wis. (WFRV) – Firefighters in Little Chute worked to put out a fire at a home twice in the same day after a garage fire spread to the attic and rekindled hours later.
According to the Little Chute Fire Department, crews were sent to the 1300 block of Miami Circle around 3:20 p.m. on March 28 for reports of a fire in a detached garage that was quickly spreading to the adjacent home.
The first crews to arrive were met by heavy smoke and flames coming from the garage which had made its way to the attic area of the home next to it.
Eventually, crews were able to get a handle on the fire and were able to ventilate the structure, check for extension, and put out any hot spots.
It was noted that all residents of the home were safely out of the building.
Crews were called back to the home shortly before midnight the same day due to the “roof/attic area smoking and rekindling with flames visible.”
The cause of the fire is under investigation and there is no estimated damage amount at this time.
