Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue were called to an apartment complex called “Neenah Court” at 2112 Marathon Avenue on March 5. When crews arrived, they encountered a working fire in an apartment on the second floor, according to Adam Dorn, Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal with the Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue.
Firefighters were alerted to the blaze by an officer, who had heard the alarm of the building go off.
In an interview with WBAY, Dorn assumes that the cause of the fire is accidental, pending further investigation. Two residents of the apartment, an adult and a young child, suffered injuries and were taken to local hospitals for treatment of burns to their hands and faces and for smoke inhalation.
The apartment is not habitable any more.
