7-26-14 alert construction worker prevents fire from spreading

A quick thinking construction worker helped a fire from spreading in Fond du Lac.  Firefighters were called to the scene Friday morning for a report of  a commercial building fire at 1674 Fox Ridge Drive.  Upon arrival the fire was extinguished.  Nearby construction workers observed the fire from down the road, rushed over to the building,  and extinguished the fire.   The painting contractor had cardboard and painting supplies stored under the exterior steps which caught fire and extended up the side of the building.  The cause of the fire appears to be accidental and is believed to be from careless use of smoking materials.  Fond du Lac Police Department assisted fire investigation and scene security.
