HUSTISFORD - A home in Hustisford is likely a total loss and a number of animals appear to have died after a fire Friday morning.
Authorities got a call around 8:30 in the morning reporting a fire in the home on Garfield Road South of County Highway R, which is just east of the Village of Hustisford.
"Upon arrival we could see the house was fully involved, flame were coming out of the roof line and windows," said Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls.
