Working fire in Wausau, WI – December 5, 2017

Wausau (WI) firefighters responded for a fire around 6:00am Tuesday (12/5/17) to Central Storage and Warehouse located on the 1200 block of West Street.

The shape of the building made it difficult to fight the fire as did cold temperatures causing the water to freeze and create slippery spots.

Officials said there was concern for a building to the east because the facility stores hay.

Wausau Battalion Chief Paul Czarapata said units were going to cover that hay with tarps so that embers don’t create another giant building on fire.

No one was inside when the fire happened and no one on scene was hurt. 

Multiple departments responded to the scene, including SAFER, Kronenwetter, Maine, and Merrill Wausau.

Water recovery in Wausau, WI – June 16, 2017

Story & photos by: Wayne Gauger

A young boy inner-tubing behind a boat went under the water which prompted his sister and their step-father to try finding him in the water. The man was able to get the boy back in the boat, but he then went under. The kids, their mother, and two dogs made it back to shore. Firefighters were paged to the river near Memorial Park in Wausau around 2 p.m. Thursday.

The Marathon County Dive Team was also brought in. The wind conditions made it dangerous for the search. It was challenging for the dive team under the water, and they were using sonar equipment. A helicopter was paged at the beginning of the search, but was called off due to the windy conditions, which is also why a drone was not used in the search. The search was called off at 9:15PM Thursday. Search crews will be back Friday morning at 7AM. WGWI-PUBLICATIONS will follow this situation and bring you any updates on our Facebook Page Search  WGWI-PUBLICATIONS.
