Quick action limits Liberty Grove electrical fire

An overloaded circuit is to blame for a small electrical fire in the Town of Liberty Grove on Monday. The Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Department was called at around 3:40 p.m. to a home on Europe Bay Road when an outlet with an electric space heater plugged in caught fire. One of the department’s firefighters was already in the area and was able to run approximately 100 yards to the home to shut the power off to prevent further damage. With the winter season in its infancy, Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Chief Chris Hecht says the incident was a good reminder for those with an electric space heater to take the proper precautions.

The fire was out right after they shut off power to the source, so no additional damage was caused and no water was needed. Fire department personnel were able to clear the scene in about 20 minutes.
