(WFRV) – A Fire Department in southern Wisconsin said it responded to several calls on Tuesday throughout the entire day, each of varying incidents.
The Kansasville Fire & Rescue Department reported that the first of the many calls came in before 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday, when they responded with a Tender and Chief to assist with a fire in Norway. Responders returned around 5:30 a.m.
The next came in around 11:30 a.m., with a paramedic unit rescuing a resident, transporting a patient to a hospital nearby.
Shortly before noon, responders helped with a reported head-on crash, and then an additional call came in around 1:15 p.m.
Several departments responded to a structure fire in Dover, quickly extinguishing a small fire in a basement, which likely originated from a malfunction in a dehumidifier. Crews on the scene ventilated significant smoke from the building for roughly an hour.
