The Madison Fire Department responded to a fire that damaged a UW-Madison molecular biology lab just after 8 p.m. Monday on campus.
Firefighters responded to a fire alarm sounding in the building, at the corner of Charter Street and Linden Drive. As they checked the building, at 1215 Linden Drive, they found heavy smoke on the fourth floor and began extinguishing the flames.
Firefighters broke out a window facing the street to ventilate the room. They had the fire under control within 15 minutes, according to department spokesman Eric Dahl.
