TODAY’S TMJ4’s Melissa McCrady reports that the fire began inside the bar.
Bret Schultz, who lives above the bar, told McCrady that a cleaning lady was working inside the restaurant when she heard what was described as a popping sound.
The fire then broke out in a back room. She called 911. South Milwaukee Police banged on Schultz’s door to get him out.
“I was asleep. There was a bang on my door. I woke up and there was smoke in my bedroom,” said Schultz.
I’ll keep you posted when I learn more.
