MADISON (WKOW) -- The American Red Cross is helping seven people find housing Monday after a fire in a duplex.

The Madison Fire Department says firefighters were called around 3:30 p.m. to 2618 Greenway View. The fire was out by the time crews arrived.

Firefighters say a pan of grease was on the stove when it caught fire. A resident tried to put out the flames with water, which splattered onto him. He was treated by paramedics at the scene and was released.

The fire department says the blaze caused an estimated $10,000 in damage.

Firefighters say the home had working smoke alarms.

The occupants do have renters insurance.
