A Woodvale Drive resident was alerted to a fire outside their home Friday night after a neighbor stopped by to report it. A full fire response from Engine Co. 14 and others was made to the 1300 block of Woodvale Drive after a 911 call was made around 7 p.m., according to the City of Madison Fire Department. The neighbor reported seeing the fire climbing the exterior siding of the house. Two fire extinguishers and snow were used to put out the fire just before Madison Fire’s arrival. Firefighters inspected the damaged area to confirm fire did not extend into other areas and posed no further danger. The occupants were not displaced, and no one was injured during the incident, according to the report. Firefighters determined the fire started from a pile of discarded ashes and coals from a recently used fireplace.
