Nobody was injured in three separate fires over the weekend in Fond du lac, at least two of which, were started by improper disposal of fireworks. Shortly before 11pm Saturday firefighters were called to 956 New Haven Avenue for a report of a garage fire. A passerby was flagged down by the resident and extinguished the fire by the time firefighters arrived. The fire damaged a portion of the garage wall. The fire started from improper disposal of fireworks in a garbage container. An hour and a half later firefighters were called to the Fond du Lac Townhomes at 195 S.
