Nobody was injured in a fire that started in the garbage can in the kitchen of a Fond du Lac home. Shortly after 10am Thursday firefighters were called to a home at 646 Ledgeview Blvd. The homeowner was able to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher before firefighters arrived. The first arriving units extinguished smoldering material, removed debris and made sure fire had not extended to the adjacent combustibles. Two occupants of the home were able to escape without injury after they were alerted by a working smoke alarm. The cause of the fire was determined to be improperly discarded smoking materials.
