The Janesville Police Department is investigating a "relatively minor fire" that did $500 damage to property in a Janesville home Saturday night, said Craig Jones, shift commander with the Janesville Fire Department.

The fire started in the basement of 514 Wells St., but officials were unable to determine what caused the fire, Jones said. It damaged personal property but did not damage the building, he said.

The owner of the house was listed as Richard Lang, Jones said. Lang also listed the home as his address, and Jones said he was not sure if anyone else lived there at the time of the fire.

No one was injured in the incident, Jones said.
