MADISON, Wis. — At least three people were hurt when a porch collapsed during the Mifflin Street Block Party.
Every year, UW-Madison students gather for an unofficial block party. Streets are packed with students, and there are house parties galore. Second-floor porches are often filled with students.
First responders were called to a home on the 500 block of Mifflin Street at about 11:45 a.m. Saturday, according to the Madison Police Department.
Authorities said they’re still investigating the cause of the collapse. Building inspectors and firefighters were seen at the home throughout the afternoon.
