(BEAVER DAM) A dog is safe and one firefighter is recovering from minor injuries after a fire broke out Monday afternoon at a duplex in Beaver Dam.
Fire crews were called around 2 p.m. to 502 North Spring Street, where police confirmed an active fire when they arrived, according to the Beaver Dam Fire Department.
Firefighters quickly put out the flames with help from police. During the response, officers rescued a dog from the adjoining residence, which wasn’t directly affected by the fire but shared part of the structure.
