Sheboygan County Sheriff
Fire damaged a town of Lyndon home on Friday night. The Sheboygan County Emergency Communications Department received the 911 call shortly after 10:30 p.m. Friday. The call came from the owner of the house, who explained that there were flames on the roof and no one was in the residence. A family member had arrived to find the home in flames and woke the sleeping owner. The two were able to safely remove pets.
Cascade Fire Chief Todd Triebensee said it appears the fire started in the attic near the chimney of a wood stove. The building was a total loss.
The emergency call drew responses from the Sheriff as well as fire departments from Cascade, Waldo, Plymouth, Oostburg, Beechwood, the Town of Sheboygan Falls, Glenbeulah, Random Lake, Elkhart Lake, Greenbush and Silver Creek, as well as from Orange Cross Ambulance and Cascade First Responders, the Fire Investigation Team, WE Energies and TNT Excavating.
