VIDEO: Large fire breaks out at shed near Holmen
Firefighters in the Holmen area were busy on Sunday afternoon, trying to extinguish a shed fire.
The La Crosse Fire Department said it was a grease fire inside the storage building on Amsterdam Prairie Road in the Town of Holland.
It took 10 minutes for fire crews to get to the scene, where they had to take defensive measures for suppression and exposure to protect a large barn that was starting to smoke from the heat.
It took about four hours to contain the fire with 28 firefighters and 12 fire apparatus on scene.
The building sustained very heavy fire and smoke damage. The cause of the fire was from heated grease.
