KANSASVILLE, Wis. — Authorities responded to a report of a lawnmower that caught on fire inside a detached Kansasville garage Saturday at about 4:45 p.m. — when they arrived the structure was completely engulfed.

The Kansasville Fire and Rescue Department got to the scene on S. Beaumont Ave. where they saw the fire rapidly growing and the door of the garage burst outwards after an explosion.

It took about 25,000 gallons of water and about five gallons of foam to put out the flames.
