TOWN OF LIBERTY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A house fire west of Shiocton Saturday morning leaves the occupant uninjured.
According to the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Department, crews were called to W8790 Lower Road just after 6, where there was smoke coming from the garage.
Firefighters put out the fire and kept it contained to the garage area.
Shiocton-Bovina fire chief Eugene Bunnell tells Fox 11 how the fire may have started.
“There was a charger for a weed-wacker plugged into the wall. And we believe that started it, and as the plastic melted, it started a garbage can, which had a quart of oil on sitting top of it and from there it proceeded to burn.”
Officials say one person was in the house at the time and was able to escape the house with no injuries.
There is still no word on how much the damage cost.
