Nobody was injured in a fire at the Waupun Subway restaurant. Firefighters were called to Subway on Shaler Drive, Monday morning for a report of a structure fire. Upon arrival, smoke and flames were seen above the drop-ceiling in the back area of the kitchen. Firefighters made entry into the business and quickly knocked down the fire, containing it to the kitchen and attic areas. It took firefighters approximately a half-hour to put out the fire and a couple hours to check the business for any further fire extension. The owner, Mindy Wild, was working at the business at the time of the fire and called 911. The business sustained fire, smoke and water damage resulting in the business being closed for a period of time yet to be determined. Agencies assisting included fire departments from Alto and Brandon-Fairwater, the Waupun Police Department, Waupun Utilities, Dodge County Sheriff’s Office and Alliant Energy.
The fire remains under investigation and damage estimates have yet to be determined.
