An electrical fire in a home in Brussels Tuesday was quickly contained, thanks to quick actions by the homeowner. Brussels-Union-Gardner Fire Department Assistant Chief Jim Wautier says crews were called out shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday to 758 County C in Brussels, with smoke filling the house. Before firefighters arrived, Wautier says the homeowner, Todd Wagner, noticed a black spot on the bathroom wall and used a fire extinguisher to bust open a hole and then put out the electrical fire.
BUG Fire helped circulate fans throughout the house to clear out the smoke and left the scene at about 8:30 a.m. No water was used to put out the fire, and the home only had minimal damage.
