U of Wis. Frat Fire Damage Estimated at $750,000

Instead of cramming for finals, 25 members of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity sat on a Metro Transit bus early this morning at the corner of Langdon and Frances streets keeping warm as dozens of Madison firefighters battled a massive fire that enveloped their fraternity house.

“It’s good to know everybody’s out and safe,” said Madison Fire Department spokeswoman Bernadette Galvez at the scene as the firefighters behind her pumped 1,000 gallons of water a minute into the top level of the three-story wooden house at 237 Langdon St.

The 13-bedroom house was completely repaired after a fire in the summer of 1999 that caused $500,000 in damage.

“This is different in that it’s a total loss,” said Ryan Sugden, vice president for the Sigma Phi Epsilon alumni board, who lived in the house from 2003 to 2005. This time, there were 25 fraternity members living in a house that at maximum occupancy can house 30, Sugden said.

“It’s a total loss. Nothing will be recovered from that house,” he said. [Madison.com]
