GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Officials say overheated wiring caused an attic fire in Green Bay.
Crews were called to the home at 512 La Plant St. around 8 a.m. Thursday for smoke coming out of the roof vents.
All occupants made it out safely.
Using a thermal imaging camera, crews were able to find the origin of the fire and extinguished it.
The fire caused about $25,000 worth of damage.
Firefighters say multiple space heaters and electrical appliances overtaxed the home’s wiring and caused the fire.
Four people are displaced.
Officials say people should never use a power strip in conjunction with a space heater and residents should follow all manufacturer safety warnings.
