MAYVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Firefighters in the Wisconsin community of Mayville had to respond to a fire at a familiar scene — their own firehouse.

The volunteer fire department says crews arrived to find a vehicle on fire inside the station and put it out. Investigators are still trying to figure out what sparked the fire.
