KAUKAUNA — No one was injured after an alert 10-year-old spotted a fire in the family’s commercial business garage and quickly told her mother.
The Kaukauna Fire Department responded at about 5:45 p.m. Friday to a fire at 1913 Crooks Avenue where the rear of a commercial garage was on fire with black smoke coming from inside the roof.
The fire was spotted by a 10-year-old resident who told her mother to dial 911.
The Initial fire crew was able to stop the fire in the rear of the garage.
Crooks Avenue/HWY 55 was shut down to access a fire hydrant for water supply.
