A fire early this morning caused $150,000 in damages to a home near Burleigh Elementary School.
The Brookfield Fire Department responded to the home at 15800 Sky Cliff Drive about 3 a.m., after police were called to the home for a burglar alarm. Police officers noticed smoke coming from the attic and called the Fire Department.
When crews arrived, they found the second story of the three-story home on fire. Firefighters entered the home, which was unoccupied, and found that the fire had been contained to a second-story bathroom and the attic.
Crews extinguished the fire, which caused severe damage to the attic and roof.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but it is not believed to be intentional.
