This weekend’s fire in the 4400 block of Overlook Drive in Janesville could have been prevented. Fire Department Battalion Chief Chris Lukas says the cause points to a young teen playing with burning materials in a shed. He says the teen admitted playing with a blow torch, and after believing it to be extinguished, set it on a pile of papers. The fire spread from the shed to the home early Sunday afternoon causing $185,000 damage. No one was injured.
