RIB MOUNTAIN, WI (WSAU) There was a garage fire around 8pm last night at Blackberry Court in Rib Mountain.
Three people inside the attached home made it out safely. Firefighters contained the flames to the garage. Fire officials think they know what caused it. “In talking to the home owner it sounds like some ashes were put into a garbage can a couple of days ago that he thought were out and cool,” SAFER Deputy Chief Josh Finke told WAOW-TV. “But it appears that that may have started the fire.”
There was some smoke damage in the home, but the family did not need to be relocated.
