FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Five people were forced out of their home after a house fire.
Fire crews responded to a home on West Bank Street around 9:30 Sunday night for reports of a detached garage fire following an explosion. The homeowner told officials a large propane tank may have been the source.
By the time authorities arrived, the fire had spread to the home. Another detached garage and house sustained heat damage.
The fire was under control in less than an hour. No one was injured, but the home was deemed uninhabitable.
Fire Chief Peter O’Leary tells FOX 11 the Red Cross is assisting the people affected.
The exact cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
