MIDDLETON, Wis. (WMTV) - The exit to Parmenter Street from the Beltline Eastbound is back open after it was closed as crews responded to structure fire, according to Dane County Dispatch.

Middleton Fire Chief Aaron Harris say crews were called to the fire around 5:35 a.m. to the 4900 block of Parmenter Street and flames could be seen from a far distance away.

Three structures were involved on the farm operation, with equipment and flammable material inside one of the buildings. Fire crews say this is what made the fire spread.

Officials note one person who worked on the farm was treated for a burn injury.

Crews are still estimating the total cost of damages.

Fire departments from Middleton, Cross Plains, Waunakee and Verona all responded to the fire.
