A large barn fire in Maple Grove on Sunday morning required the assistance of over 10 local fire departments from three different Northeastern Wisconsin counties.
According to the Brillion Fire Department, at around 4:14 a.m., Brillion fire crews responded to the 24100 block Manitowoc Road in the Town of Maple Grove for reports of a barn fire. Upon arrival at the scene, crews noticed the barn was fully engulfed in fire with heavy flames coming from the building. First arriving crews also reported seeing that the barn, which was near a shed and a residence, was starting to collapse into its foundation prompting crews to begin a defensive fire attack to ensure the fire was properly and safely contained.
