A two-alarm fire destroyed a barn and at least two vehicles in Madison late Thursday evening, but firefighters from seven departments were able to save the home, keeping it cool even though the siding melted.
Crews were at the scene of the fire on Cedar Street in Madison for more than two hours, with the call coming in at 10:20 p.m. and crews leaving at 12:30 a.m. Friday.
“When we have a structure fire in the town of Madison, it comes in as an all-call which gives us Anson, Madison and Starks,” Madison Fire Chief Don French said. “Once I determined we needed more resources than that, I upgraded to a second alarm which gives me four more towns.”
