Milwaukee fire crews were called to a home on South 9th Street near Lincoln Avenue Thursday morning.
This fire comes two days after Milwaukee Fire Engine 31 reopened .
“Houses today were genuinely saved because that station is now open,” said Alex Zacher, general manager at Ben’s Cycle.
MFD said, “Had Engine 31 not been in service, the fire would have grown exponentially, unchecked, and most likely would have spread to the houses next door due to their close proximity.”
“Being in buildings that are 120-130 years old, it really brings us peace of mind knowing there is a station nearby that can respond quickly,” Zacher said…
