VIDEO: West Allis firefighters are battling a fire at the Morgan Grove Apartments near S. 108th Street and Morgan Avenue.
The fire broke out before 5 a.m. Wednesday. Flames could be seen pouring out of the roof of one building. "Then I kind of just walked down the hall, and I walked past the door, and I saw through the window and the fire was still rising above the building," said Jamel Mosley, neighbor. "After a while, I just saw families leaving with suitcases, getting in their cars, driving off, you know, just being displaced." Emergency crews were assisting some residents and helping others get to safety.
The American Red Cross is assisting residents in need.
