MADISON, Wis. --
Madison firefighters are battling a fire that began in a garage on Friday morning, but has now spread to two houses on the city's East Side.
The fire is now in the attic on both sides of the structure in the 200 block of Shady Leaf Road, according to Bernadette Galvez, Madison Fire Department's public information officer.

Galvez said that both houses sustained major damage.
One home is a total loss while the second house's upper floor was damaged.
No one was hurt, WISC-TV reported.
