Overview
- Firefighters contained a two-alarm blaze at the Walker's Point U-Haul storage site, with no injuries reported as heavy smoke led officials to urge nearby residents to stay indoors.
- Crews arrived to smoke pouring from first- and second-floor windows and found active fire on the first floor near the back of the building.
- Roughly 45 firefighters responded to the large self-storage complex, which the fire chief said is risky because unit walls can hide and spread fire.
- Investigators have not identified the cause of this fire or the five-alarm incident at the same property in January.
- January’s fire caused major damage, and the owner filed a raze permit with the City of Milwaukee last month, signaling that demolition is under consideration.
