TOWN OF DELTON (WKOW) -- The Delton Fire Department says the fire that caused an estimated $250,000 damage to a home in Sauk County was ignited by a glass crystal ball.
Firefighters were called to the home on Fox Hill Road around 4:20 p.m. Monday. The owner got home, found thick smoke throughout the house and called 911.
The investigation determined the fire started on a couch in the living room, according to the Delton Fire Department. Investigators determined it had been ignited by a glass crystal ball ornament that was on a table nearby.
The table was in direct sunlight. Firefighters say when sunshine came through a large set of windows and through the glass ball, it ignited the couch.
The Delton Fire Department says homeowners should keep items such as crystals, mirrors, glass ornaments, and even bottles away from direct sunlight and particularly away from anything flammable. These items can act just like a magnifying glass and focus sunlight so that the energy, which would normally be spread out over a wide area, is delivered to a much smaller point.
No one was hurt.
