Forget fighting fire with fire. In 1991, Madison firefighters battled an inferno of government surplus butter and cheese with water, which, as any chef knows, just makes grease fires angrier. The result was a catastrophic, four-alarm fondue that unleashed a 5-foot-deep river of melted dairy. Firefighters waded through a greasy moat, ruined their gear, and nearly sent a buttery tidal wave into a local lake. It was an eight-day, $70-million nightmare that proved some city-planning flaws are just too cheesy to make up. The smell, apparently, lasted for years. #UnhingedHistoryPodcast #HiddenHistory #HistoryFacts #DidYouKnow
