Small welding fire put out at Weber Center
A small fire set off by welding sparks brought fire crews to La Crosse’s Weber Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday.
The fire was contained mostly to a small plastic tote inside the garage entrance on Front Street.
The sparks reportedly ignited combustible materials, and set off the building’s sprinkler system.
No one was injured, and there was minor water damage in the stage area.
Fire crews also removed smoke from the theater area.
