On February 4th, at approximately 6:20 a.m., the Belleville Fire Department responded to a report of a semi that had crashed into a home. When emergency responders arrived everyone in the home, as well as the semi driver, were safe, although two people were later taken to a hospital by Belleville Area EMS for injuries that weren't considered life-threatening. Belleville Fire Department spokesperson Lt. Jake Myrland said in a statement, "Fuel from the semi and items contained in a utility trailer were leaking in the house. The semi also damaged the natural gas meter to the house so the gas was shut off," Myrland said. Agencies that assisted in the response include the Belleville Police Dept. and Belleville Public Works Department, Madison Fire Department Heavy Urban Rescue Team, We Energies, Alliant Energy, and the Wisconsin State Patrol. A recovery team from Disch Auto also worked to pull the semi from the house, Myrland said.
