UPDATE | Family safe after fire in Hubbard

HUBBARD — A family is safe after a basement fire on the 500 block of Meadowland Drive.

The fire was reported around 1:40 p.m. according to a dispatch report.

The fire was out within an hour. The Eagle Fire Joint District received mutual aid from Brookfield and Liberty.

Liberty Fire Chief Gus Birch said the firefighters did a good job of containing the fire quickly. He said it may have been an electrical fire, but won't know for sure until they are done investigating.
