Home fires strike Wisconsin, Arizona and Hawaii with one hospitalization

Firefighters responded to several separate fires, including a home fire in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, where residents evacuated before crews arrived and no injuries were reported; the cause remains under investigation. In Flagstaff, Arizona, a fire damaged a home and multiple vehicles, but occupants escaped safely and crews prevented the blaze from spreading to nearby structures. In Kailua, Hawaii, firefighters extinguished a house fire on Papalani Street early Friday; a man in his 60s was hospitalized for smoke inhalation, while a woman evaluated at the scene declined transport, and investigators are determining the cause. A separate fire in Lincoln County, Wisconsin, destroyed a utility vehicle, according to a video report.
