Firefighters on Wednesday morning, September 28th were called out to the scene of a garage fire near 12th and Michigan in South Milwaukee. The call came in shortly before 1:00 a.m. When crews arrived on scene, they encountered a fully-involved detached garage. Officials say the fire extended to an SUV parked adjacent to the garage and to the roof of an auto body shop located directly to the east. Radiant heat also melted several garbage carts and the vinyl siding on two nearby homes. We Energies was requested to the scene to secure an energized power line that burned through and fell to the ground. Officials say the fire was quickly knocked down and extensive overhaul was necessary due to the collapse of the roof of the garage.
