Horicon Experiences Second Structure Fire on East Lake Street

At 6:48 p.m. on December 17, 2025, the Horicon Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire at 307 E. Lake Street in the City of Horicon.
Upon arrival, crews found an active fire within the building with extension to the neighboring property. Due to the possibility of further fire extension to other connected structures, a second box alarm was requested to provide additional personnel and resources to protect exposures and assist with fire suppression operations.
All residents were able to safely escape the building prior to fire suppression operations. Fire crews conducted aggressive fire control and exposure protection to prevent further spread.
During the incident, two firefighters sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were treated and transported for medical evaluation. Both are expected to have a quick recovery
The fire was brought under control, and no civilian injuries were reported. Tenants were provided assistance by the Red Cross. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
