More than a dozen families are displaced after a fire at a Fitchburg apartment building Sunday afternoon.
Dane County Communications received calls about a fire at a Fitchburg apartment building near the intersection of High Ridge Trail and Fish Hatchery Road just before 3:30 p.m.
Fitchburg Fire Chief Joe Pulvermacher told 27 News about 10 agencies responded to the incident, including crews from Verona, Fitch-Rona, Oregon, McFarland, Maple Bluff, and Madison.
On scene, Pulvermacher said heavy fire and smoke was seen from the outside the apartment, and the cold temperature added additional barriers to putting it out.
