Catching up from the holiday weekend …
First, this from the South Milwaukee Fire Department …
At approximately 2:15 this afternoon (August 31), SMFD was notified of a fire burning behind the steel facade in front of the former Sunrise Restaurant. Contractors removing the signage from the building noticed smoke coming from the overhang and walked to the fire station to report the fire. Arriving SMFD units discovered smoke issuing from the facade area and vents and fire burning behind the steel siding. Extra resources from our mutual aid partners were initially requested, but were released once the area was opened up and the fire was under control. The fire was contained to the area seen in the accompanying photos. No injuries were reported. SMFD also responded to two additional EMS calls during his time.
