Late Night Fire in Beaver Dam

7/17/11 - Fire caused extensive damage to a portion of the Spring Isle Apartments in Beaver Dam last night. Deputy Fire Chief Matt Christian says they got a call around 10:30 p.m. that a fire had broken out in the upstairs portion of an apartment building made up of four residences on Wayland Street. Once on scene they were able to knock the blaze down quickly, though the apartments affected by the fire are unlivable. Christian wasn’t sure how many people were going to be displaced but the Red Cross was being called in to assist. The cause of the fire was still unknown as of early this morning. Prior to the fire department’s arrival officers with the Beaver Dam Police Department were able to clear the buildings and no one was hurt. Beaver Dam received mutual aid from the Fox Lake, Juneau, and Burnett Fire Departments. Crews were still on-scene as of 1 a.m.
